The message of love shines brightly

I was walking in the Bay area at Albany. It was a beautiful sight. The Bulb was a lovely beach to behold.

The water glistened in the sparkle of the sun.

The waves of the water were making a beautiful sound. The water was gushing through. The water was peaceful.

People around were jumping with joy.

I passed by quietly looking at the dogs that were brought by their owners. Some trainers were running with their dogs and some owners were sitting around with their dogs.

I sat down to have a chat with them. We were exchanging rituals and food habits of different countries.

One of the ladies wanted me to take a walk with her. We saw many stones with drawings on them. Going ahead we saw some interesting and creative things.

Today I found something special.

Engraved on a stone I found the above 👆🏽stone. On it were the words, U R LOVED.

I found it endearing. I did not know who had written it or for whom but it was a message of love LOUD and CLEAR and I really loved it.

The person who wrote it obviously made a declaration of love. I was thinking about whether it had been accepted by the other party or not.

Nothing was written whether it was for a lady's love or for a man's. I guessed the person who wrote it wanted an element of a little surprise and a little mystery.

It was artistic. The person was surely creative and had an interest in art.

Whoever it was left a message and just right to bring it out on Valentine’s Day as there was a heart as well in the center of U ❤️R Loved

I think the following words seem apt to the situation.

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” — Pablo Neruda
