L O V E
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
And, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each others cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each others keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each others shadow.
Gibran Kahlil Gibran
May Love be always in your home and in your heart,
Happy Valentine’s day!

Hello Angie! What are your thoughts today!? First 6 months passed and we are still here! I think we have done well! Congratulations! Your friend Teje
Very beautifully put and thanks for sharing.
Hello angle. I am wondering how you found this website to make a blog for crochet. I am inspired and I think it would be fun to post some of my patterns. Like ami you know? You said don’t hesitate so I’m not 🙂 do you write written Patterns also? Like for the wavy zig zag blanket you had below? What yarn do you use. I’m curious because red heart doesn’t have these beautiful colors. You sound like a nice person . I hope so. 🙂 ….
Hay.
