Some gifts make your heart sing. I received one of those yesterday. As I’ve been sharing here, the heart symbol has shown up for me during 2013. I’ve interpreted their many incarnations as love letters from the Universe, encouraging me to keep my heart open. Instead of keeping the gift to myself though, I answer the Universe by sharing it.
In this call and response pattern, I discover a heart, take a photo of it, text it to friends, and they in turn find hearts, take pictures and send them to me. This back and forth exchange is inspiring, synergistic and mostly just fun.
Yesterday, a dear friend, photographer and co-conspirator in the Heart-0-Grams, gave me a book she had printed, a collection her heart photographs inspired by our daily game. The dedication and inscription was a gift in itself, and to turn each page, to see these symbols of love in a bound book, well, let’s just say some tears may have welled and my heart sang, even if a little out of tune.
How does that Beatles song go, “What would you do if I sang out of tune…I get by with a little help from my friends.”
