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.
