happy valentine's day (for tomorrow)

I love this quote from an old copy of Natural Health magazine (February 2004). I scribbled it down in one of my journals, and it's stuck with me ever since: "This is the time of year when it's easy to succumb to the symbols and trappings of feelings, to love as defined by others. The rituals of romance, the rich foods and vibrant flowers, are gratifying in the moment, and we can take delight in their sensuous pleasures. But the greatest affection is tendered and received - with neither encumbrance nor expectation. It's the quieter rituals of the devoted heart, so often overlooked, that provide the security and the strength we need to embrace the wondrous opportunities of life."
