That may be the best posture human love can take. In a relationship of love, no one can become a god to the other — one can only become the empty space where a god would be.' Shin Hyung-cheol, The History of Life I keep Shin Hyung-cheol's book close by and read a little bit of it whenever I get a spare moment. #Tomato salad, handled as carefully and gently as a soft touch

1 tomato, 5 cherry tomatoes, basil, blue cheese, 1T pine nuts, olive oil, balsamic vinegar

1. Slice the tomato so thin you'll wonder if it's even okay to go this thin. 2. Lay the tomato on a plate and top with chopped basil, blue cheese, and toasted pine nuts. Finish with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
