i look into your eyes and see the universe not yet born
this past weekend i was listening to john lennon's
and it reminded me that even though i walk through life with the
we
that is my family, sometimes i don't
really
see them.
we
is a gift that needs to be nurtured daily. it's easy to take for granted that we are separate people who choose to be together every day.
look at your beloved today. really try to see him or her and think "what can i do for you?" rather than dwell on things they
should
do for you. there is a saying by rumi that i find so beautiful,
"i look into your eyes and see the whole universe -- born and not yet born."
there is so much to come especially if we can open our eyes and hearts to each other...
ok, that's my sappy bit for the day. without further ado, here is a
* filled with a few love songs that have been important to me. michael always holds my hand when "love story" by harry nillson comes on and our wedding recessional was "as" by stevie wonder - it's such a wonderful song. happy valentine's day!
