All marketability and commercialization aside, please—Valentine’s Day is not for the faint of heart.
For the solidarity of two hearts, it is a mere reaffirmation of the flame. You don’t need it, but you deserve it.
For the wheeling, circling, unsure hearts, testing each other’s pulse like one wolf smells another, it is a making or breaking, either a spark or a crack that occurs when two flint stones bang together to form a flame.
For the lonely heart, it is a black unfriendly day—or not. Not necessarily. When seen through clear tear-washed eyes you see it for what it truly is: a reaffirmation, a reminder, a plea, and a promise to spread the truest form of love—agape—from the minutes-old newborn to the deathbed-ridden elder. It is a memorial day of the remembrance of love and loss and love again. Essentially, a celebration of the greatest source of power and peace in the universe.
So celebrate it. Thank you parents, kiss your grandmother, scratch your dog’s belly, call up that old friend, bring cookies for your colleagues, have a mindblowing time with your partner, give a kind hand at a local charity or shelter. Your time and love are never wasted.
Send a holler out to the people who need it most, to the people who believe in it the least, to the people you love more than anything. Enjoy loving and being loved. Through love, you will touch a life. By touching a life, you will change the world.
I love you! say. It costs nothing… it means everything.
Love,
