“34, 35. 36…and then I stopped counting hearts on the sidewalk.  It’s the short distance between where we live and the walking path along the river.

Soft white heart-shapes in many sizes sprinkle the ground those few yards, and this day I noticed just how many.  It’s funny, I used to think they were faded paint blobs and it was such a mystery to me how they could end up there.

Yes, it’s great to have fabulous friends that paid more attention in school than I did!  One day my enlightened pal informed me those hearts were ‘lichen’.  Lichen is actually a little plant that grows low on rocks, walls, trees…and sidewalks.

And this day my head was down and heart a little heavy – that’s when I began counting the hearts.  By the time I reached the turning point towards the river, my heart had already took a turn. Gratitude was the helium in my spirit and lightness lifted my thoughts and being upwards.

Thoughts of love lift our spirits every time, and sometimes it takes moving our feet and getting some fresh air before we remember.

I’ve been thinking about love being an internal presence. Dreaming about how wonderful it would be to know this warm, trusting neutral place inside, all the time and no matter what conditions are around me.

So, to love someone unconditionally – isn’t that we are loving them so much – as it is we are loving us by maintaining this often indescribable, warm, ever-expansive internal presence of love within.

…and then we truly love unconditionally.

May you remember, wherever you walk in life, today and everyday, coming and going – your path is paved with love.  Look for Signs of Love as you go – you’ll see them.

loving you,
