The Taxonomy of Love

February 14, 2013 / Melody Smith /

Because it is the famously sweet Hallmark holiday and I am feeling a bit silly, I went on search for a Taxonomy of Love. What better day than Valentine’s Day than to dissect and tear apart what others see as mystical and ethereal?

So off to Google I went, and here I come back with my tail between my legs in failure.

I found the Taxonomy of Tea, the Fish & Chips Taxonomy, and let us not forget the taxonomy comparing the minds of cat people and dog people. On second thought, maybe we should forget that. Dogs rule.

But no love. No taxonomy of the woes and sorrows, bliss and joy of romanticism. Come on, you genius brains. Put all that mental muscle to work on important things. Sheesh.

    First of all I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.

    I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.

    I’ve had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts
    out. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.
    Any suggestions or tips? Cheers!

    My three-second search revealed results suggesting 3, 4, 5 and 8 different types of love. If that’s any indication, just as a starter, it will be challenging to claim an authoritative vocabulary!
