[I] Love Lists

I love lists. Grocery lists, to-do lists, word lists, movie lists, travel lists, bucket lists. And now, a love list. Thank you, Eero Saarinen. This man may have designed a JFK terminal and invented the womb chair, but he will forever in my heart be remembered for the love list that made me fall in love with lists all over again.

From this great book:

   

I - First I recognized that you were very clever

II - That you were very han[d]some

III - That you were perceptive

IV - That you were enthusiastic

V - That you were generous

VI - That you were beautiful

VII - That you were terribly well organized

VIII - That you were fantastically efficient

IX - That you dress very very well

III - That you have a marvelous sense of humor

X - That you have a very very beautiful body

XI - That you are unbelievably generous to me

XII - That the more one digs the foundations the more and more one finds 

the solidest of granit[e] for you and I to build a life together upon
