by the time you read this...

by the time most of you read this it will be valentine's day... and so i feel compelled to give something in the direction of the over commercialized overdone consumer based love market. i give you three songs from the same woman that are three parts of love... love as i see it...



and i offer this insight... i have found love in more places than i have lost it. i have toted fool's gold across our nation as a talisman of what is possible if you are in the right place at the right time. i have discarded a heart that was given to me with the calloused hands of a cynic. i have treasured the love given to me by a small girl with a huge heart. i have worked hard to love myself and to love my choices... i have never worked hard at being loved because i don't think it can be forced or created outside of the right situations. i think it comes to us when we least expect it, when we can't fit it in and we don't really know what to do with it. perhaps i still have bridges and bridges to cross before there is anything that we'll speak of here in certain terms but that doesn't mean that i need one day to be reminded of the possibility. the possibility exists everyday and in each of us... so forget the flowers, the candy, the cards, the gifts and even the sex.... instead focus on what you can give and receive with your whole heart and do that to the best of your ability just for the day.

i hope that you have a lovely love day....
