The Integrity of the Whole

A frog is more than the makeup of legs, arms skin, and internal organs.  Similarly, love is more than the sum of its parts. I posted on the mystery or intuitive recognition associated with romantic love on the website (“On Frogs“). Here I’d like to write about my own intuitive recognition of what I loved or found attractive in Jessica.

I was drawn to her emotional resilience.  She gave me the impression of being sexually knowledgeable without being indiscriminate, and of being feminine without being too girly.  She tends to be a bit socially anxious which I found kind of charming.  She’s intelligent and good with language.  She’s concerned about others’ feelings without being “too” nice (nice to the point of being boring).  She’s psychologically minded.  I can’t really verbalize what I found physically attractive about her but it’s definitely there — voice tone, body language, nonverbal expressions, smile.  I couldn’t really think in words around her, could only fall back on instinct, intuition, the process of recognizing a complement to myself.
