Dear
Friends:
May this Valentine's Day bring you peace, balance, harmony, serenity and a
little magic.
May you be surrounded by the people, places, things and experiences you love.
And bending to
the water, bending to our reflections,
the mirrored surface gave back two mirror images;
our reflections had become the same,
almost androgynous.
My twin,
how we had changed.
And then the leaves around us spoke.
They said: You are supposed to be here.
Alder, ash and oak tree, thickening into woods, said:
We were expecting you…
