"There's no such thing as a perfect relationship.
It's about finding someone who matches you
and will go through everything without giving up."

"... each of us is born with a box of matches inside us
but we can't strike them all by ourselves."
-- Laura Esquivel, Like Water for Chocolate
It never ceases to fascinate me the way inanimate objects can be arranged and photographed to communicate feelings and emotion and words.
I spent an entire afternoon striking matches, letting them burn down to my fingers, then forging little relationships between them.
It was a good thing to do while a March blizzard blustered outside.
Some might just see burnt matches in these photographs.
But I saw a tender, lovely, sad little tale of love and heartbreak. I hope you can see it, too.
If you can't see, maybe you should light a match.
