Song of Solomon 2:10-12 My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away, for behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land. + Love called the world into being with an extraordinary invitation. Come away today to listen, admire beauty, and sing. Let love balance your life. “Every year for fifty, I’ve made valentines for a few special someones,” Marcia commented. “I play with color and paint and collage. Embracing whimsy through my valentines helps me to survive winter.” Her valentines are at: https://www.flickr.com/gp/marciamilner-brage/N7u5Z078s3 Fellow artist and writer Marcia Milner-Brage and I first became friends through our Iowa food-buying club in the late 1980s. A scribe who works from direct observation, Marcia says she faces the blank page “to transfer all my senses, whether I’m looking outward or inward.” She writes personal essays and in visual art, drawing, painting, and collage. “Thus, I name my world. I remember doing my first observed drawing sixty-eight years ago, at age five; it was a sketch of my parents,” she explained. “I thought I could figure out who they were and how they were different, if I could show them on paper.” From the Midwest, Marcia moved to the San Francisco Bay area two years ago.
