May you see love, beauty, joy, peace, and hope
in the ordinary corners of your life.
And may the fragrance of a flower,
the careless flight of a butterfly, sun
on a sleeping cat, rain,
unexpected tolerance,
acts of compassion and
quiet faith…
remind you of
the mystery
of life
and love.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
