happy valentine’s day!

“there are as many kinds of love as there are moments in time” {mansfield park}
i love love.

i love my family.                                      i love my friends all over the world.

        i love god, and his love.              i love the diversity and richness of human experience; i love being alive.





















i love the earth and all its contrasts and arrays of beauty.               i love celebrating love.





















and this year, for the first time ever, i have a romantic boy to love on love day!
i think it’s going to be the best valentine’s day yet. i hope it is for you, too, no matter what kinds of love you’re celebrating today.
