Dear Friend,
I hope you heard the story on NPR about the zoo that was raising funds on Valentine’s Day with the following campaign: name a cockroach after your ex and have it fed to a meerkat, live-streamed on the internet, of course.
Made me laugh. Alternatively… we always have the invitation to focus on love, love, love, love, love…
Thursday, February 14th – a continuation of God’s holiday, which is every day, love, love, love, love, nothing but love, love, love… and if you can’t feel the love, I invite you to settle for lots of chocolate, chocolate, chocolate…

You know how people parade snowflakes as the standard of uniqueness? I wonder why we don’t use the example of popcorn instead, each kernel exploding open in its own unique burst of “I AM-ness.” I’d like to advocate for a popcorn metaphor. Fingerprints, snowflakes, popcorn kernels. I know my preference.
Blessings of this ambitious quarter moon to you!
