365 dAys of aRt. DAY TWENTY-SIX.

you're my still-life painting
you're my midnight waking
you're the rain i'm waiting for
your love is amazing.

LOVE. I've been there many times -- loving a man, loving a friend, a place, a book, a dessert! I've had the pleasure to take love in my hand, to hold it close to my heart, to hear it and give it away. It is love that gets me through the day. It is love that sleeps beside me at night. And it is love that allows me to grasp the creative threads in my life. Love is what supports and encourages and feeds off those creative threads, too. Love sits with me, keeps me company, and shares in all the ups and downs. Today may be just another day for you -- just one more hallmark holiday that's collecting cards. But take the time, regardless of the day's 'hallmarkness', to acknowledge the abundance of love in your life. Even if it is just a book or a song or an aspect of life that flutters your heart. Be grateful that it exists and LOVE it fully!
