For me, the heart chakra's shade of green is moss green. This vibrant yellowish spring green speaks straight to my heart. Totally uplifting. Completely fitting then that yesterday I found this moss covered log in the heart of a tiny wood. The woods are really a copse of mainly birches just beyond the end of my road. I've walked past them lots but have never ventured into them. Yesterday, such a brilliant spring (could even have been summer!) day, lured me on a walk that way. I stopped to take a photo of the trees and the clear sky and noticed a butterfly flitting by a narrow path into the trees. So I decided to see what lay beyond for the first time. Enthralled at first by straggly sprigs of green grass, the deeper I walked into the woods, the more delights I found; the greener and the more abundant the undergrowth. Spring had sprung without me noticing. I clambered over deadfall, ducked under branches until I reached a sunny glade. The butterfly sunned herself on a twig, lost amongst the dead leaves. I took photos of her (none of them worked with her wings open!) and when I thanked her for sharing the moment with me, she twirled up into the air above my head and danced with another butterfly. Then I discovered the moss-covered log, spotlit in sunlight. My heart sang. I took it to be a reward for taking a small risk, for feeding my curiosity, for listening to my heart, for embracing a tiny adventure.
May your day be full of tiny adventures that make your heart sing.

I took a walk in the woods today too! We had a honey bee come up beside us before flying off. It was the perfect day for a walk. I'm glad you had a magical experience too
