love's magic

it's no secret that i've been seeing hearts for almost 30 years, but even still, they never cease to amaze me and serve as reminders for just how loved we really are.

last grocery trip, i treated myself to these cheerful gerbera daisies, knowing they tend to last for a long time. almost a week later, when freshening the vase water, i saw this perfect heart in the middle of the smallest bloom.

not having noticed it before and not seeing any of the others look like this, i marveled at how it got there and how love's reminders come at just the right time.
