While visiting an art center just before Valentine’s Day, I came across a pen and ink drawing of hearts and flowers. The upper left hand quarter of the page was tightly filled with heart shapes in a variety of sizes. The way they were grouped together made me think of a large crowd of people pressing forward, waiting to pass through a narrow entrance to an event. Although people crowded together like that aren’t always happy, those heart shapes almost seemed to be smiling. The picture was a nice visual reminder that I can remember to look past outward appearances and see everyone as smiling happy hearts instead.
