Not Your Usual Winter Apple

The tree is old and scraggly, and only produces a couple of inedible apples each year.

Still, it hovers over the driveway as it has for the past 40 years or so, getting more gnarled and ugly with each passing year. 

 

This year, one of the apples dropped onto the driveway, where it was squashed flat by my car.

 

Into a disturbing and yet somehow intriguing heart!

I've Been WHERE?

A couple of years ago, Sissie and I spent several winter days at the Oregon beach.

It was cold, and in fact we woke up one morning to snow on the sand. If you look closely at the heart-shaped rock we found, you will notice a tiny bit of snowy white ...

Here's where the story gets a little off balance.

Because apparently I've been to South Africa!

Seriously!

Based on a tip I saw on a news segment, I went to Google's "Image" search, clicked on the little camera, and uploaded a random heart from my files. It was this one.

And found a huge surprise.

My photo, of a heart-shaped rock on the Oregon beach ...

Was apparently taken in South Africa!

And I don't even remember the trip!!!!!!

Sunrise Cloud Heart

Just for a moment the clouds break apart ...
In that magical and special moment ...
You know the one.
Right in there between darkness and light.
That moment in time when the sky is lightly pink ...
While the ground is still stained with the darkness of night.
That moment of promise for a new day
A day replete with the gift of life ...
And HEART.
