Not my title - the phrase I've been getting sent to my inbox for a year.

Episode 225: Love

Valentine and Saint Marius aided the Christian martyrs and secretly married couples, and for this kind deed Valentine was apprehended and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. He suffered martyrdom on the 14th day of February, in either 269 or 270.“You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.”― Thich Nhat HanhKahlil GibranThe Prophet (extract)Our children are not your children.They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.They come through you but not from you.And though they are with you, they belong not to you.You may give them your love but not your thoughts.For they have their own thoughts.You may house their bodies but not their souls,For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite.And He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.Let your bending in the archer's hands be for happiness;For even as He loves the arrow that flies,So He loves the bow that is stable.Why we have St Valentine's head in Dublin and the history of two possible Valentineshttp://www.carmelites.ie/stvalentine.html
