We take a break from the budding love stories on Pine Street (Franny and Leo? Leo and Alison? Franny and coffee?) to wish everyone a day full of love on February 14.

The title of this post is borrowed from author Alain de Botton in a recent On Being interview.

The notion that love is a skill, an art we can practice, a life’s work that can sustain us, heartens me.

For all the lovers out there – let’s keep practicing.

Happy Valentine’s Day
