Valentine’s Day

February 14th, 2006 by Laura Moncur in Holidays
Must, bid the Morn awake!
Sad Winter now declines,
Each bird doth choose a mate;
This day’s Saint Valentine’s.
For that good bishop’s sake
Get up and let us see
What beauty it shall be
That Fortune us assigns.
Michael Drayton

Every grocery store has a pink and red ode to love along their promotional aisle right now. Cardstock perforated valentines are available in every design from Sponge Bob to Barbie. Chocolate and flowers and even chocolate flowers are available for the forgetful needing a last minute gift. I walk past that aisle and I somehow think that we’re missing the point.

Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.
Anton Chekhov
To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.
David Viscott, How to Live with Another Person, 1974
Just because you love someone doesn’t mean you have to be involved with them. Love is not a bandage to cover wounds.
Hugh Elliott, Standing Room Only weblog, February 16, 2004
Love is, above all else, the gift of oneself.
Jean Anouilh
