Attraction flits past the eye but lands at and enters by the ear. It begins in the mind and is heard and felt by the ethereal sense, not seen. Are they intelligent and well-read and thoughtful and, most importantly, are they creative? It starts with the incorporeal exquisite heart. Is it gilded in that golden Halo shine like that famous sacred heart? And their soul: is it broad wingrd, ready to take flight to fight the world for you or to envelop and embrace you?
Everything else, the merely physical, is just so many delightful flavors of candy in an exquisite crystal bowl.
