(previously Smiling Serenade)

If hers was the precise angle of cut crystal flashing in the light,
His was the warm glow of a candle through bone china.
If hers was long-stemmed red roses,
His was garden roses, on a trellis, still growing.

from Broken Chords by Barbara Snow Gilbert

Hello, my name is Amy.

I am always in the middle of several books.
My favourite is All the King's Men by the ingenius Robert Penn Warren.
Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being is the perfect combination of philosophy and literature.
And Alan Lightman's Einstein's Dreams is all that plus physics, too.

I will spend my life throwing myself into every one of my varied interests.
(It's hard to just choose one when I am in love with the entire world.)
