what is within us

“What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

So. The world of relationships and ‘special days’ like Valentine’s Day or Christmas or birthdays can have a wacky relationship. Suffice it to say each of these days can translate into getting dumped, or not dumped, even before Christmas (to avoid giving a gift) or Valentine’s Day (for fear of commitment).

But they also inspire some inspired gifts and inspired words. Maybe the most inspired are also the simplest: “I love you”.

Which leads me to “what lies within us.” When in a relationship, what lies within us, as a statement, is the definition of love.

Valentine’s Day or not.
