i came across this page in our message notebook that sits by the telephone. it's the week of celebrating love! there's something about valentines day. i've finally accepted that it is my favourite holiday of the year.
i have a sweet memory of going downtown with c & her mama to the war protest back in 2002. dressed in pink, c wearing heart wings, determined to spread love yo. making a huge painted heart for the front door of my house, scrawling more love under it. and every year pulling out the same yellowed and crinkled paper with that shining heart. and i have high hopes, every year of making sweet little heart cookies with pink and red and white icing and offering them to those i hold dearest.
another year, in mexico city with z, meandering the streets on february 14th, heart candies and balloons for sale, covering every inch of the sidewalk. el dia del amor y la amistad- and that's what made sense to me. it's all about love for each and celebrating this bounty with one another and feeling it all. all these memories are flooding back. there's so many more, all so filled with goodness and red foil wrapped chocolate!
happy day of love and friendship...
