Nature sent me this heart when I had to say good-bye to my rock friends in Estes Park, Colorado. I knew it would be a long time before we got together again and we were parting with love…
Sometimes Nature knocks us on the head with the message “Hello! I love you!”
Many people have had the experience of this – the occasions run from feeling sad and needing reassurance to feeling really good and in love with all of life. Sometimes nature responds and our eyes fall upon a nature-created heart that is pulsating with the special energy of “I love you!”

I was walking along the shore of Lake Michigan, and feeling rather sad that, living now in the Midwest, I no longer could walk the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean as I had all my life. The nature spirits were cheering me up, and when I looked down…I saw they had presented me with their heart’s love!

This heart rests at the base of a tree in Fabyan Park, Geneva. I’d been focused on communing with the greenman whose image was in the trunk far above. A friend came by and as I greeted her, our attention was jointly attracted to this beautiful heart, near the roots of the tree…

This heart lies at the center of the Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Children love to play on it!

Really! The thought of “I love you” from the nature is quite applauding. It actually happened with me a few times… when I felt low or hurt, the sky assured me with its love by creating a heart amidst the clouds. So, yes nature too does understand your feelings, sometimes.
Yes, the intelligence of nature and its wish to consciously interact with humans is very beautiful….Atala
