...But Val’s Day is 23rd April
Right after Christmas and New Year, the
breeze of love continues to heighten
as the month of love draws near. It’s
FEBRRRRUUUUUARY! Valentine becomes
the new craze, a day having been specially set,
the 14th of February becomes one savoring
good and bad memories, for lovers both far and
near. The guys just dread it, and the girls can’t
wait for it. lol. The shops are flanked with gifts
wrapped in red, couples parade the streets in
style, showing off ‘what they deem to be love.’
Love huh? Is it that holistic feeling that
consumes the heart and sends happy vibes
down the spine? That uncontrollable drive
within you that makes you go “giddy googoo
gaga” over that special someone?Is it that thing
that consumes your mind and your very being
with his very presence?That causes you to miss
her even when she has not left yet …Is .that the
L. O. V. E?????
Absolutely not! Love is that driving force,
that overwhelming nature of God in you that
causes you to reach out from deep within
for another’s sake. Love is that constant state
of being and mind that propels an infinite
change and lightens up a gloomy day. It is the
connection with the divine that brings you
heaven on earth. Love is our nature, love is a
decision. It is the decision to heal instead of to
hurt. The decision to give life instead of to kill;
to lift instead of to tread upon, to give freely,
instead of holding back.
The power of love and its attributes have
been greatly underrated and misconstrued.
Its significance has been tied to lust,
infatuations, sex and materiality. But no, love
is the expression of God in us that flows out to
EVERYONE around us EVERYDAY and not
just on 14th February. It can be 21st March or
even 23rd April. Heck! If there was 32nd May,
it would still be a day to love and celebrate
unconditional love. This selfless show of
affection, loyalty, friendship, and trust between
individuals. This force, this nature; simply can’t
be bottled up in a day. It’s Impossible. you
were born of Love to love anyone and everyone
despite the odds. Just a day for love is pitiful.
A month would not be enough. A year would
not suffice. This thing called love is a lifetime
“kinda” thing. For EVERY-“Kinda”-ONE.
Not just one special one. So if love is expressed
on Valentine’s Day, then I hereby declare every
every day Valentine’s Day.
