It's THAT day again !

St.Valentine's Day is here again. It has become ever more commercialised over the years. Many consider it spoiled, or pointless. Yet it IS something which binds us together. People in many parts of the world understand the significance of a Valentine. However commercial and trite some aspects of this day might seem, it's basically all about love and good feelings....that can never be bad. So, although I won't join in the commercialism of the day, I'll offer the following song lyrics as my Valentine to all Astrologers, Astrology Bloggers, any stray reader(s) who happen by my blog today, and for Al Gore, Dennis Kucinich and Bill Maher. Y'all help to keep me sane in this mad, mad world!

"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

(lyrics by Brendan Graham)
