May I remind you that I am an artist/sculptor as well thus requiring models of all types:~)...and Anatomy studies has pushed me even further, short of having cadavers around...I know, I know...and my world expands and on and on and on! Might I suggest...should your arm be completely amputated by Erin, that you donate it to me so perhaps I can sculpt a new one to scale for you? lol! Thanks you for appreciating my quotes! :~) Hi Seth…

Wait..why do you have prosthetic limbs hanging around your house? Per usual, you always come through with the self-quote. Lovely! =) Henie, you are very kind but I somehow doubt that the prosthetic arm in your studio would serve as a proper replacement. Wait..why do you have prosthetic limbs hanging around your house?

I love this post.. I like Erin, she is so much like me. Communication and the enjoyment of a dialogue is more important. As an artist myself, I always allow people to give their interpretation of what they perceive the work to be. Then I draw from that and makeit an inspiration for the next artwork. when it comes to relationships, we don't always have to be alike in all that we do or want. Being too similar, would be too boring. Accepting the other person for who he or she will allow the relationship more stability. Yes Seth, less games and more honesty. great post as always.

As I was reading, I was relating to my studio where paintings lean up against all walls like fallen soldiers; piles of photographs awaiting their final destination edits and journals leaning like the Tower of Pisa! My haven...yet anyone close enough to be welcomed has been an absolute joy...perspective is simply perspective, where there are no differences just additions! And it matters not whether they are supporter or participant...it's all good...like the "Erin-way!" :~) All relationships should be without expectations, that every facet culminates to that incredible brilliance! See what happens when you write about passion and art? I for one can't stop long enough to make a judgement and I like it that way! Oh, I have an extra prosthetic arm in my studio should yours fall off! :~) "Though we see it through the varied hues...it's still the same rainbow!" ~Henie~ Ping-pongssssssssssss! Oh, Seth…this is the penguinest!:~)

I think people suffer from ignorance when they close-off those who are not like themselves. There are initial similarities that can often attract us to people at first, but it's the intricate differences that draw us in more. good post! I completely agree!

"opposites attract" but what about when those opposites grow into annoyances because we've fallen into details and stopped celebrating the person? You are so very right in saying that people will always be themselves, give enough time. What better reason to start off with less games and more honesty! Best to you! =) Yes. “opposites attract” but what about when those opposites grow into annoyances because we’ve fallen into details and stopped celebrating the person?

How many relationships (mine included!) have I seen go south because of this? So often we become interested in someone simply <em>because</em> of how they're different. And then over time, whether it's months or years, those differences somehow morph into being irritants instead of intriguing. One thing I know is that I can trust 100% of the people to always, inevitably, be themselves. And why, at least when I'm being reasonably sane (!), would I want them to be anything else? Thanks, Seth! I think this is very wise.
