Valentine Sea Pod

The Beach represents so many things, for me, rest, restoration, respite, strength, power, mighty, quietness, ebb & flow of of the tides, nature, introspection, reflection, relaxation, community, private thoughts, prayer, and so much more that covers the spectrum. 
One beautiful early morning...I discovered my first heart sea pod, turning it over in my hand,  wondering if it was from nature or man-made...I decided the later & tossed it to the ground.
As i walked along in reflection, stopping to enjoy the view, breathing in deep air, watching the  flight patterns of the birds...a couple of beach walkers caught up to me, with kindness had picked up the sea pod & brought it to me saying "We brought this back to you, it traveled from around the world to find you...Are you sure you want to throw it away?"
Thank you kind strangers for placing it back into my care...
Love, heart shaped sea pod.. Many questions remain... is it a person? place? or thing? It was suggested to consider, don't throw love of yourself away.. so many contemplations in this reflection... 
I'm so grateful, God who created , who loves & cherishes me, & constantly  surrounding me with his love, brought through many others into my life to share love in multiple directions...
