Someday you may feel alone! You think you can’t get out of what’s happening to you. Just look up and breathe. Connecting with the environment, with nature will give you a break. Making a supplication to God is as important as breathing. The Lord loves us. Knowing that will give us the strength it takes to continue. Walking and observing, breathing and connecting with nature, with such small and simple things that are around us gives us peace of mind. The answers come in different ways, you just have to know how to perceive the love of God in the universe.

On one occasion I was caught in a challenge, test, problem, dilemma, or conflict. Like anyone else, I have my own problems. I just took a deep breath and walked, watched as I always do. Looking for the wonders that surround us, I saw some trees without leaves. But I was immediately struck by a beautiful bright pink heart! Excited I approached. It was a leaf that clung to the tree. It was on a branch refusing to fall. I received my reply. In such a simple way I was once connected to happiness simply by observing. A small pink heart-shaped leaf had given me a great illusion.
