There are so many loves in my life...human, animal, plant. Just two are represented here...Avery and the garden. Of course, I love those loves I'm not physically with as well...far flung family and friends. And there are the global loves too...those to whom I send good wishes and protection, even though we've never met.
Valentine's day has never been exclusively about romantic love...not to me. The celebration (a saint's day, really, I guess) has always been broader and more joyful than that. I read once that St. Valentine is also considered the patron saint of beekeepers, which I find incredibly cool. Not that I put much cred in religiosity, because we all know how checkered that history is!
Of course, love is more than just a day. Hopefully it permeates our lives in its potentially many forms and fashions. Sending love...
