February
Calendar Wisdom.
Well, coming back to my calendar. Now it is February and there is a new Chapter. Apparently, the new theme is LOVE.
Symbols of Love.
Love is perhaps the most difficult of emotions to put into words, but that certainly hasn’t stopped anyone from trying. When it comes to love, we come up with all sorts of ways to communicate it – gifts, surprises, good deeds, and, yes, loving words. Consider your love for someone and look over the poetry magnets. Which ones jump out? Try it with different people in mind – a partner or a friend or a child – and compose a few lines with these symbols of love.
Quote of the month:
“There is no remedy for love but to love more.” Henry David Thoreau
So, if it is the theme of the month, I will be writing about love and marriage.
Many years ago, my ex-husband and I were about to get married and the first date suggested at the Registration Office was February 13th , Saturday. I am not superstitious, but I refused categorically. The next day was obviously February 14th, the Valentine’s day (how romantic is that?), but we did not know it then. We lived in Russia, and were totally oblivious to the dates like Valentine’s Day, Halloween (on which I was born), Thanksgiving and the rest of them.
So, not to be married on the February 13th, we chose February 6th instead. Was our marriage meant to be? Who knows? We had a car accident on the way to the Registration Office and not all of our guests arrived to participate in the ceremony. It is generally considered to be a bad sign, but again who knows? And now, I can say only that we were married for 16 years and we are not married any longer.
My ex has found another love and I guess he will remarry soon. And I struggle to remember all of those who had the folly and courage to propose marriage to me. The question somehow resurfaced and it did not always had to do with love. Maybe it is time to write a little story about men in my life.
