To my Napkin Kin,

I love drawing for you.  I dream of good and wonderful things happening for you.  I love you and thank you.

If you wish someone to be happy, if that is what you hope to have happen, then you can call it whatever you want, but I call it love.

Love is a Fire – Valentine’s Week 2013

love 1

Or maybe it does both, just depends on the day?  

Either way, hearth or house, if the blanket covering you is made of love, you will be protected.

Valentine’s Day 2012

Valentine's Day, 2012

I don’t mean ‘Let’s drive off a cliff’ stupid, I mean ‘let’s dance and have fun and be silly together’ stupid.  Can you do that with someone who needs the joy today, even if from a distance?  What the heck, do it.

Quote by Paul Valery, 1871-1945, French poet and philosopher.

Valentine’s Day, 2011

 

I don’t want to know how much you are loved, I want to know how much you love others.
I don’t want to know how many Valentine’s Day cards you got, I want to know how many you gave out.
I don’t want to know how long you have waited for love. I want to know who you decided to love today.
I don’t want to know how big your diamond is.  I want to know how big your heart is.
I don’t want to know how much joy you have, I want to know how your joy touched others.

I want to know, I need to know, that our house, our common house of love, is big enough for all the pain in the world.  Make it so today.
