All You Need Is Love

So it's February, and if you've been to a grocery store in the past month, you've been seeing Valentine's Day cards, candy, and decorations all that time.
In our culture, we tend to think of love as a commodity. Something you get "out there" rather than something that's inside us all along.

So as a special treat for Valentine's Day, here are some images and poems that may elicit  that feeling in you.

Whether you are part of a couple or not,
I invite you to fall into Love today and always.

I Will Just Say This

 We bloomed in Spring.
Our bodies are the leaves of God.
The appareent seasons of life and death our eyes can suffer;
but our souls, dear, I will just say this forthright: they are God Itself,
we will never perish unless He does.

- St Teresa

This Sky

This
sky
Where we live
Is no place to lose your wings.

So love, love,
Love.

Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.
    - Ralph Waldo Emerson


When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
    - Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is not the length of life, but the depth.
    - Ralph Waldo Emerson 





Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.
     - Emily Dickinson

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
     - Emily Dickinson


Not knowing when the dawn will come
I open every door.
     - Emily Dickinson
