Love Is The Bridge

 “Love is the bridge between you and everything.” 

– Rumi

A Big Heart

 "He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, 

 and he who plants kindness gathers love." 

 ~ St. Basil

A very large leaf seen at our local Horticulture Garden from a prior summer.

This type of plant is called Caladium and they produce really large leaves.

I thought it looked like a Big Heart.

Knothole Heart

“Still round the corner there may wait, 

A new road or a secret gate.” 

― J. R. R. Tolkien

Sometimes I find some really cool things during my walks.

The knothole on this tree and the spot left by a broken-off branch,

resulted in this heart shape.

Do you see it?

Life Bursts With Miracles

“Around us, life bursts with miracles--a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings. When we are tired and feel discouraged by life's daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.” 

― Thích Nhất Hạnh

The Heart of Autumn

"Come said the wind to the leaves one day, 

 Come o're the meadows and we will play. 

 Put on your dresses scarlet and gold, 

 For summer is gone and the days grow cold." - 

 A Children's Song of the 1880's

I think the leaves growing side by side (in the middle) look like a heart :)

Autumn Views

A little bit of color starting to come out.....

Blue Jay surrounded by autumn leaves 

(those leaves look like hearts to me.... can you see it?)  

The days may not be so bright and balmy—yet the quiet and melancholy that linger around them is fraught with glory. Over everything connected with autumn there lingers some golden spell—some unseen influence that penetrates the soul with its mysterious power.

Life is good, 
even though we forget it sometimes.

Heart shaped leaf found on my morning walk.

Heart of Blooming Quince

What a lovely place this world would be if only people would feel affection for everyone else, and all the ugliness of the human heart were to vanish - our envy of those better off than ourselves and our scorn for those worse off. 

~ Sayo Masuda

  WE can change things.

WE can love more.

WE can show more kindness

When I saw it I immediately thought it was shaped like a heart.

Do you see it?

June Wildflower 

The petals remind me of little hearts.

Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart one who looks for the best in people. 

Leave people better than you found them.

― Marvin J. Ashton 

Refreshing

May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you, 

Falling gently on your head, refreshing your soul 

With the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming. 

May the strength of the winds of Heaven bless you, 

Carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean 

Sparkling after in the sunlight. 

May the blessing of God's earth be on you, 

And as you walk the roads, 

May you always have a kind word for those you meet. 

An Irish Blessing

It is daily admission of one's weakness. 
It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Heart in the Sand

We live our lives 

Like hands are tied 

And dead in days of dreaming 

Embrace the race 

Of every days 

But forsake the feeling 

Are we killing time 

While these days unwind? 

 We can't see past our own sad stories 

And wonder what we're missing 

We can't see past our own sad stories 

And forget how to listen
