all you need

February continues the season of mostly homemade sunshine. 

An invitation to play at the library, mail full of hearts from Texas, red plastic collectors across the entire county - hand-me-down hope, all of it.

It's been fun, this year anyway, to participate in a holiday provocation to pass out extra love. To remember that pink is for humans who like pink, that every heart is a doorway, that love can be decidedly disorganized. And it's remarkable, really, that little things like paper birds and peanut butter lids and late-blooming amaryllis can provide a solid dose of bright optimism.
