Valentine’s Day

 Why not give yourself a Valentine act of love?  Say what?  Well, many people want to avoid their inner noise, so they want lots of outside noise, such as one gets with ear buds, cell phones, background music, noisy places.  Such a person might not like being alone with themselves, silence all around them.  They might have to confront fears, gloominess, anxiety, dullness, boredom and a bit of depression.  But the gift to themselves is to just be with the self, alone, in silence, so that you can learn to be at home just with yourself.  Maybe notice your breath.  You are breathing.  You are a gift to yourself.  For today, don’t try to escape you.
