I'm talking to my devilishly handsome companion because I enjoy it, not because it serves any practical purpose.

Jasmine has a number of meanings... love, attachment, good fortune. Some others, less relevant. But most importantly for me, it blooms at night. And if you'll forgive my nostalgia... it makes me think of home. No matter where I am, the scent of jasmine in bloom always brings me back to New Orleans.
