unsentimental Montana way that will still be stirring at any ceremony. “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 lots 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; try to stick it under a microscope and you get a close-up look at some writhing amorpohous microcooties. 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. Love is also like poison oak...it’s highly contagious. Scratch it and it gets worse. Touch other people with it and they catch it too. What love is not like is your average fish; if love was a fish it would be suicidal: it wants to get caught. —David James Duncan, The River Why
