Just a quick read shows us that what this day started out as has no connection to Eros, or Cupid, or Romance. Yet that doesn't change the fact that it is, now, very much a day to celebrate your loved one.
I am single. It's funny how innocent those words look right now, yet at 2 in the morning, they can keep me up, and when I think about where I am in my life, they can haunt me.
won't you dance with me
O Lover of my soul
to the song of all songs?
And yet right now, I'm exactly where I need to be. I've called my beautiful mom, told her I loved her and asked her to relay that to my sisters this morning with a hug and a kiss attached for each. I woke up this morning so in love with a God who loves me like no one else will ever be able to, and found myself once again in the middle of my very own Great Romance . . .
So while I celebrate with those of my friends and family who have that special someone, the one whose smile lights up their life, for me, I celebrate this love today, and wait patiently for when I play my part in that image of this Romance . . .
I just looked up that wikipedia article last night wondering if there was anything I could use for my blog today but I decided to go a different direction. Weird!
