Who doesn’t remember the love songs of their youth? Those lyrics that reached right into the adolescent heart where the first flames of “forever” love and “happily ever after” love burned. Those songs were sung over and over again, played on the radio every day, danced to at every party - and it’s hard to forget them or that time in my life.

Some of you may also have fond remembrances of these songs and the romantic feelings that they engendered in youth. I should add that Valentine’s Day is very different for me at this stage of life. I feel the universality of being loving and being loved as fundamental to life and am glad that this day makes me think of others this way. “Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.” ― Dalai Lama XIV, The Art of Happiness

[caption id=“attachment_2848” align=“aligncenter” width=“800”] In our deepest moments of struggle, frustration, fear, and confusion, we are being called upon to reach in and touch our hearts. Then, we will know what to do, what to say, how to be. What is right is always in our deepest heart of hearts. It is from the deepest part of our hearts that we are capable of reaching out and touching another human being. It is, after all, one heart touching another heart.
