Love From Us to You

At OWY many of us are artists and lovers of art.  The heart above is a pour-painting made by Erin Percy and gifted to Sherrena for her birthday.  We are sharing it with you along with this meditative love poem to bless your Valentine's day!

-Shannon Leigh

Whether you are coupled or single love is for you!  

Contrary to popular opinion love does not move from the outside in, from others into us.  Love is an experience that radiates from the inside out.  This is such a relief, it means love is here - all the love you could ever want and need, already yours...  Be a fearless explorer of the terrain of your own heart, sink into yourself and find love!

Love
by Czeslaw Milosz

Love means to learn to look at yourself
The way one looks at distant things
For you are only one thing among many.
And whoever sees that way heals his heart,
Without knowing it, from various ills.
A bird and a tree say to him: Friend. 

Then he wants to use himself and things
So that they stand in the glow of ripeness.
It doesn’t matter whether he knows what he serves:
Who serves best doesn’t always understand.
