Love for a Day?

Running the Numbers

Scheherazade's 1001 nights sustained her life

1000 miles= not too far to be at your door

Hearts hear the whistle blow 100 miles

40 days and 40 nights life cradled in epic flooding downpour

One Day to remember we chose love, Valentine?

Not us! Joined hands, melded lives, forever encore.

    Beautiful. I love that comparison between the hyper-romanticized "one day" and the true celebration of love every day.
