People often don't know what they're talking about. But when they talk about love...they really don't know what they're talking about. The one sure thing you can say about love is that there isn't much you can say about it. Not that you shouldn't try. You can make analogies. Love is like a lot of things. One thing it's like is a trout stream. Try to capture a trout stream with a dam and you get a lake. Try to catch it in a bucket and you get a bucket of water. Put some under a microscope and you get a close-up look at some writhing micro-cooties. But a trout stream is only a trout stream when it's flowing between its own two banks, at its own pace, in its own sweet way.
