Estoy contemplando el amor.

 I was going to not post this year. For Valentine's Day. Save everyone the red hearts and thoughts on Love that I so much enjoy. Was honestly, going to just skip it this year. But then I read Viktor Frankl's thoughts on the matter in "Man's Search for Meaning" And I was reminded why I love celebrating Love. Love is the answer!

"A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth - that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. In a position of utter desolation, when man cannot express himself in positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way - an honorable way - in such a position man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment. For the first time in my life I was able to understand the meaning of the words, "The angels are lost in perpetual contemplation of an infinite glory.""

There is a world of hurting souls out there. Poor, hungry, orphan'd, lost and alone, even "in a position of utter desolation" they share the same air as you and I. For quite some time now, I've had a running conversation with my Saviour, about all of the Love I've been storing up over the many years. It's a fairly one-sided conversation as His response never changes. I'll need this Love one day. To Love them. Let me show them Love and be Love for them Lord!

Not a red heart this year! My rose from Uncle Kevin's funeral! Much more fitting!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Much Love and Prayers!
