Happy Valentine's Day my loves! I hope that you are enjoying this day of love, passion and dedication to the one's you care for. If you aren't romantically connected with someone, don't remove yourself from this holiday. You are surrounded by more love than you think. You don't need a day to share the love you have in your heart or acknowledge the love people give you all year round. Instead of the usual Ms. Mocha posts, I want to share two beautiful pieces of work to commemorate this day. Hope you enjoy!
1) "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails ..." 1 Corinthians 13:4–8a
2) “Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.”
-St. Augustine
Until next time my sweets!
