I delight more than anything to find hearts in nature. These heart-shaped leaves are everywhere if you are awake to see them. This, by far, is the most perfect one I've landed upon. In thinking about how they make me feel, I am reminded about the many statements and lyrics re: the heart made by my kabbalistic teacher, Jason Shulman, that have equally moved me :
Opening the heart means you have the space to hold paradox.
We want our hearts to be big enough to hold all of us.
We want to be open-hearted to our closed heart.
What is this pain in my heart it is you
What is this joy in my heart it's you too ...
Unlock my heart, oh G-d, unlock my mind ...
Oh let me be an open-hearted man,
oh let me be an open hearted woman
oh let me be the one who understands
oh let me be the one who's filled with wisdom
