February 15, 2014 deVerse/ Valentine's Day

deVerse  Prompt:  Coming off the sugar high



Valentine’s Day
A day well spent
All so commercial
Candy, flowers, pajamas
And Teddy Bears
Should I feel unloved
Without a great big heart
Or should I examine
My own
Explore my motives
Did I give to get
Or is my heart full
Because I gave freely

The commercial part of Valentine can be a little bit sugary for my taste... but if we don't get that heart-shaped box of candy... something has to be wrong... hmm maybe I never gave any..

mesmerizing patterns on your other page. I wonder what you are filling in on the image to the right of the post.

Interesting introspection on the Valentine phenomenon that has mushroomed so lately.

its a good question there in the end
to understand our own motives in why we give
appropo...there is a freedom in that
i am just not sure how to maintain it.

It is definitely a good feeling to know one has given freely!

I think that most holidays are definitely too sugary! But there are also some positive thoughts so I choose to focus on those.

Give as much, certainly is better! Nothing like giving when abundance drops back in return. Nicely annell!

Self-examination can be a double-edged sword. Am sure there are times we have all asked this question. Indeed profound.
