I found this quilted heart on the Dipsea Hiking trail near Muir Woods/Stinson Beach in California. It was hanging off of a branch on a lone tree along the dirt part of the trail, with the beautiful view of the beach behind us. At first, I wondered if I should take it, or if it was meant for someone else. But then I thought back to an incident that happened not even 24 hours before. It made me feel insignificant, insecure, hopeless and alone. Finding this heart brought a smile to my face, and I felt like this was a sign that something greater was on its way. It also served as a reminder that no matter what happens, or what I face, I will always be loved by someone. To the person who made this heart, thank you for making my day a little brighter.
