Universal Glue

LOVE

The month of February 

gives us opportunity 

to muse about such things..

right?

as I work on my art journal pages for 

February

and I am writing my annual love letter

to myself..

I realized in the studio the other day,

gazing around as I wrote..

just how many hearts I have,

 that others have given me..

and many that I have made myself..

for myself..

When I think of love...

I cannot wrap my head around

the allness of it..

the heart shape seems like such a tiny symbol

for something so great..

something so all encompassing...

for me, to try to define it, is to limit it

and to classify it would be an attempt to diminish it..

To use art terms..

I think that 

Love is a universal glue..

it holds everything together..

it keeps planets spinning in orbit

and concerns itself with the tiniest of flowers..

for me, it is in all the details..

and it can heal everything..

So as I celebrate 

Valentine's day..

I wish you love..

and 

May you find many things about yourself

that are beautiful...

and may it all unfold in..

LOVE
