About Me

"What we know is not much. What we do not know is immense."
-Pierre-Simon Laplace

I am strewn across the land. My pieces lie everywhere, and the area my self covers can only increase with time.Except in my head. That's where the pieces are still intact. That's where the unexpected twin resides.

That's where I come up with the notion that I am probably not what you expected. That's where I hope to find surprise on a two-way street.

love as finishing a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Two thoughts that are wedded.
