This week and next, we’re celebrating love and my favorite holiday, Valentine’s Day.  If you have any poems, photos, quotes or short stories about love you’d like to share, please send me a note or leave a comment below.

If you know any homeless artists who would like their poems, photos or art featured on under1000skies, on our social media accounts and through our email list, please pass on our information. Thank you!

We’re also always gratefully accepting photos, art, poems or quotes or any Gems anyone might want to share. Special thanks today and always to everyone who has shared these so generously over the years since we began.

Have a great weekend.

Today’s Gem celebrates our Mother’s love,  Mother Nature, Gaia, Mother Earth.  I was inspired to find a special quote to honor this love after reading a beautiful poem Mother, We Are Sorry by River Dixon.
