Happy Valentine's Day, Charong!

Photograph  Copyright  © 1972   2013 Alexander Chow-Stuart. Happy Valentine's Day to my beautiful wife, Charong! This passage from Pablo Neruda's exquisite Sonnet XVII expresses my love far more perfectly than I can: " I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving  but this, in which there is no I or you,  so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close. " - Pablo Neruda, Sonnet XVII
