Pinterest Theme "On Love"...

I can't help but gather imagery on my Pinterest boards with themes for Valentine's Day.  My latest is called "On Love".  There is literal love, that of expression, through gift and sentiment and those things that make us feel romantic, sexy!  Any way you think about it, it is a wonderful little holiday.  And, I am a big believer that it doesn't matter whether you are single, married -- it can be a day to fill your heart with love, period. And even sweeter is to do something wonderful for yourself!  What do you do or think about on this lovely day?

I have also copied a favorite poem by e.e. cummings which is perfect for upcoming Valentine's Day.


     somewhere i have never travelled

      by e. e. cummings

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skillfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)

nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

Cheers.  Happy weekend and would love to hear what you do to celebrate Vday.
