Public Service Announcement…With Hearts

By

I was walking down the street on my own, shuffling through my mixed bag of thoughts, reflecting on the events of the night. I was feeling kinda down, truth be told, and that’s probably why my eyes were on the ground when I saw this in the photo above. I immediately stopped in my tracks. My initial reaction was, “Aw, how sweeet,” (semi-sarcastic) until I saw the note scrawled beneath the stenciling (“No, no, I love you, I LOVE YOU”), and then I laughed out loud. This little exchange between anonymous street artist and anonymous passerby reminded me of a Facebook exchange I had with a dear friend that went along the lines of “You da BEST” “No, YOU da BEST!” “No, YOU!” and so on…That memory put a smile on my face.

Had I been walking with my head up and a spring in my step, I probably would have walked right over this little message from the universe. I’m not saying that just because I saw this note, I immediately felt embraced and loved by humankind. What it DID do was to remind me that just a block away was a taqueria where some beloved friends were waiting for me, and for the moment, that was more than enough.

Have you ever been surprised by an image that you normally would have missed had you not just happened to be looking in that direction? Has your heart been changed by paying attention to the details? Please share with us your images and stories.

  1. This is not a life-changing experience or anything, but I was out walking with my boyfriend one day, and there was early summer sunlight and shades of green and brown all around us, and I happened to notice the stump of a tree with a heart shape carved into the bark – essentially the perfect symbol for the wonderful time we were having.

  5. I love moments like this. There are a lot of these little messages around Austin. This one is the most recent love message on South Congress. I had seen it captured by another photographer and wondered where it was. While doing some practice shooting last week, I turned a corner and there it was. Yay! 🙂
