I Declare

This morning in the bathroom stall of an elementary school, I notice that someone has written on the wall a declaration of love. I remember how significant this was in school to declare, in writing, on a wall--or a tree, or a bench, or a chair--your love for someone for the whole world to see.

The impulse to declare, even in the bathroom stall, your heart's true love, made me smile today. I remember the childlike insistence of it and the pure motivation of the heart just to write it down for the world to know.

Declaring our love in writing for others to see represents something so simple and sweet. And I noticed it.
