Love is always changing…growing…it comes in many shapes and sizes
It can bewilder…it can excite…it’s full of wonder and surprises.
It is associated with our hopes, our dreams, our wishes and our needs
and is inextricably linked…with are ability to read…
When we are children…we learn to read the faces of our loved ones…who we see…our parents…our brothers and sisters…members of our family.
When we move away from our family…into the world outside our door…we learn to read love in many different languages…than we ever thought before.
Still a little older yet…we find love can be confusing…and often difficult to read…it can make us happy causing us to smile…or sad causing us to bleed.
We spend many of our adult years seeing how life and love are intertwined
understanding a lot of our time in love is spent trying to read between the lines.
But love softens and illuminates when we’re older…
we begin to cherish it more as art…
for now we are able to sit together
in silence…
and read each other’s heart.
