This piece was created with thoughts of Valentine’s Day. I did not have anyone in mind for this piece, meaning there is no one who is waiting to receive it. So, it will need a home to go to.

Being an environmentalist I am constantly reminded of what lies ahead for us and the environment and I can start to feel the great disconnection people have with nature, with themselves and even with the people they love, and I feel hopeless. Share with me your thoughts of what it means for you to get out and enjoy your surroundings (by yourself or with family/friends).
Please give me hope.

Be that someone special, and pass on some hope to dear Dawn. I know it will mean a lot to me if you did.

I went over and left a comment. I hope it gives you a little hope, Dawn!
I too went over and left a note with Dawn. I saw a beautiful trinket on my nature walk today. A selfless piece of public art left to spread joy. Gave me hope!!
