Love is in the air! Can you feel it? If you can't feel it, you'll have to fight for it.

That's what I've decided...

Happy Valentine's Day from Bend, OR! This morning Doug, Jasper, and I soaked in the McCredie Hot Pot. The sky was high desert blue and the ferns were elfin green. Mother Nature was my Valentine, today. Her bubbling sulphur waters refreshed my weary frame. I feel courageous again.

I will fight for my love.

Yesterday, I placed my back against the biggest red wood tree I could find and prayed for health.

I will fight for love.

Count me in! I will join your army d'amour and fight for love. Crusades of compassion with heart-expanding possibilities. Our motto: amor vincit omnia et nos cedamus amori (love conquers all and let us yield to it). We will arm ourselves with passion.

i hope your trip has been lovely. redwoods are lovely, too. you are lovely. be safe, careful of your heart. what to do if someone is a bad fighter?

I'm not sure what being careful of one's heart means... Maybe the heart is not so weak.

What do you mean by "bad fighter?" Do you mean being unready to fight? Or do you mean what if the love is unrequited? We must all choose our battles, I think. But sometimes the scary battle for LOVE is not as bad as we think. LOVE looks out for its own. LOVE is much safer than we think. LOVE is different than love, even though it's spelled the same way.

Amen!

I'm still pondering the question of what to do if someone is a bad fighter? I think a better answer is: I love you, and I don't care if you're a bad fighter. And thank you for caring about my heart. I miss you, too.
