The Hearts of Israel

A Dog's HeartEveryone has a blog (soapbox) these days where they wax poetic about politics, pop culture, business, etc. If you are a blog junkie like myself it can certainly certainly get overwhelming at time. Being inundated with too much information confuses the mind and distracts and who can retain all that information anyway? I I recently came across a lovely little Israel-based blog simply titled levavot, or “hearts” in English. It’s mission statement is simple. Every day a photo will be uploaded of an image of a heart that the anonymous author comes across in her day. When the heart is linked to a cause, she will provide that link, with the goal being to “spread the love.” Her mantra is love is everywhere, sometimes you just need to look.

It’s a fascinating way to look at life. Many of the images are of objects that intentionally have hearts on them – be they products, art, clothing. The really special images however are hearts that are purely from nature or noticed in her surrounds. I’ve selected a few of my favorites. The first (see right) is a nice heart on a dalmatian’s back. Trees may or may not feel pain, but after see the below photo you can’t deny that they do not have hearts. Even paint chipped away on a parking spot reveals a heart (Wonder how she spotted this one?). And finally, maybe somewhat obvious, but Israel flora reveals a heart as well.
