I'm sure everyone's thoughts today are on love and in reading various blogs this morning, it is clear that in the vintage and cooking blogs I tend to read, Valentine's Day and pretty cards are the focus.  My favorite thought for today came from The Kitchn in a lovely post by Dana Velden

Here's a Hafiz poem the blogger cited:

With That Moon Language

Admit something:
Everyone you see, you say to them, 'Love me.'
Of course you do not do this out loud,
otherwise someone would call the cops.

Still, though,
think about this,
this great pull in us to connect.

Why not become the one who lives with a full moon in each eye
that is always saying,
with that sweet moon language,
what every other eye in this world
is dying to hear?

-Hafiz

Oh, if we could just BE the love we wish to see and experience in the world, what a world this would be!  I  think Reiki affords us an amazing opportunity to BE that love.  When you send Reiki or give a treatment, you also experience Reiki.  Your heart is never wilder or freer.  You are never more yourself, yet you are never more connected to another or some aspect of this earthly experience.  Amazing...
