Funny enough, today I felt very emotionally tired, and this afternoon I had a nap, and a lovely dream …
Where Is Love?
Behind every word
There is a thought
Between every thought
There is an emotion
Underneath the emotion
There is a heartbeat
Below the heartbeat
There is a soul
Within the soul
There lives love

I’m chuckling here for some reason at your idea of lowkey, Beth. Lemme draw up my swans to drag me across the pond too. 🤣
Jokes aside, happy Valentine’s to you and your loved ones. Speaking of swans, we’re gonna go to the pond this afternoon and hopefully see little birds to feed. Maybe they’ll be accompanied by Cupid too!
