Let today be a day when you freely express your love for another human being. It needn’t be romantic love, though certainly it could be. Just so long as it is love. Don’t be shy about it. Don’t be private about it. Do it publicly, openly, and unrepentently.
Let today be a day when you feel deeply your love of community. The biblical imperative to “love thy neighbor as thyself” is a good one to remember today. Let yourself feel the gratitude, love, or simple connectedness that you feel toward the people in your community who make it “home.” And a bit of self-love is in order, as well!
Let today be a day when that feeling of love for community radiates out to become an awareness of the connections we share beyond our communities, connections that tie all of us on the planet together.
Let today be a day to be mindful of the need for peace, for sharing, for connection, and for the part we each play in achieving peace, for sharing with each other, and for tending to the connections that bind us all together.
Love deeply and love widely.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
ps: A special Valentine’s kiss for Will, my partner-in-life and now in blogging!
Sex in the Public Square 
There’s nothin’ you can do that can’t be done.
There’s nothin’ you can sing that can’t be sung
There’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.
It’s easy.
All you need is love.
Everybody, now!
