Cazitudes

Too cool by half...

Takes about a minute of back'n'forth to get to the good stuff. Brought a tear to my eyes, that... romance lives.

Heart-things, heart-strings, heart-brings

Oh, innocent victims of Cupid,
Remember this terse little verse;
To let a fool kiss you is stupid,
To let a kiss fool you is worse.
-E.Y. Harburg

I've always been amused by that small verse.  The cutting wit of its truth slays me... maybe because I have experienced such a sting firsthand in life.

Ah, Valentine's Day.  May the day of love be whatever you need it to be - here's a toast to the concept, flawed as I find it. 

To those of you who have 'em handy, love the ones you're with, full-tilt.  To those of you who don't, love yourself, full-stop.  No matter the day - be it this yearly event or a nondescript Wednesday at the end of a middling month - it's a grand thing to be, here and now, as you find yourself in this world.

It's all good. 

xoxoxo from me to you...
