This drawing is a reminder to myself that love hides in quiet afternoons and unexpected moments, sometimes in plain sight, and sometimes in memory. Love is in the flower you receive, and in the flowers you tend to patiently while they grow. It's in the candles lit on birthdays and in wishes shared among friends. It's in the sip of a drink that makes your day just that much brighter, in the little indulgences and simple pleasures. Love is in the rings you wear to give you strength and remind you of your mother and grandmother who wore them before you. Love is hidden in the parts of life that thrill, confuse, inspire wonder, and fill you with a longing for more living. Love is in the little moments.
