…oh, hey there, Valentine’s Day, I didn’t see you sneakin’ up on me! Always approaching from the rear, you naughty thing.
Sitting here at work on a hazy Tuesday morning. The static view from the 8th floor is something I take for granted sometimes. Good morning, frosty Boise cityscape. I sure do appreciate you -mainly because spring is around the corner and this has been one helluva winter!
Today I’m thinking about lots of different loves I have in life. I used to be such an immature cynic, avoiding the topic of intimacy as though it had a 12 foot long foaming proboscis. However, I’m attempting to shed that shadow and appreciate love in its many alluring, dynamically shape-shifting forms. Not for any one thing or person in particular, but just an organic, flowing sense of acceptance towards the concept of love. Opening myself to these emotions, instead of cringing and lashing out at them, has swung the doors of possibility wide open. I feel more complete, relaxed, and satisfied. As I continue to allow it to freely flow in and out of my mind, new possibilities pop up and give me further pause for reflection.
