Yesterday I met an old friend for lunch and we had a heart-to-heart talk about our lives. It was the kind of chummy, very comfortable kind of chat where the time you haven't met just flows past and you fill in the blanks just like that. :)
Admittedly, my love life has not been too fantastic (actually, what love life? *chuckle*!) although we know that life goes on, and being single has its benefits too. Still, I had a lot of thoughts as I took my usual walk around the neighbourhood. Tonight though, I detoured just a little and spotted a tree from afar. It had a heart-shaped canopy which I found rather pretty (yes, I get sentimental a lot.) As I came closer, I saw that the 'heart shape' was not exactly 'whole'. It looked like a heart only from my direction, while there was actually a 'gap' in the leaves. I don't think anyone around saw what I was seeing.
That was when I had another epiphany from Nature. It was a message meant for me perhaps. :) Just because a heart isn't 'whole' doesn't make it less complete. We've all left bits and pieces of our hearts with someone else, but we can be like that tree and still stand tall, and just because it is merely one tree among so many others, doesn't mean someone will not spot its uniqueness.
