Gloria, don’t feel bad about the bleeding hearts that are gone. God is all about Restoration from ruins.

Some have health properties that when dried and used in a tea can really help the body. Also, certain insects need certain “weeds”.

Most of us in my area will think nothing of ripping up Milkweed from our gardens. A local farmer plows them over with his tractor. Well the monarch butterfly will leave their cocoons on these milkweeds because the milkweed plant has a certain property that enters the caterpillar, and turns off predators from wanting to eat them.

If you notice less and less monarch butterflies, it could be man’s fault for tearing up and destroying milkweed plants. Everything has a value, even if we don’t see it.

I have a little Nature Spirit garden in my yard that I leave all wild plants remain that have blown in from the wind. I only cultivate and prune here and there–and have added some perrenials in certain spots, a bird bath, and some stones.

You should see how beautiful the “weeds” are when given the respect they deserve and pruned as ordinary plants. The grasses look beautiful, and a nice clump of purple wood violets blew in out of nowhere.

The honey bees enjoy the golden rod– Golden rod used to be one of the wildflowers I tore out of the ground. Honey bees are dying off more and more, so I’m glad the goldenrod is there for them.

When some wasps were going to build a nest near our swimming pool, I prayed before God to make them find another place, or else my father would spray them and destroy thier nest. I also asked any of Nature’s guardian angels out loud to send them away.

The wasps left– they found another place to nest.

I also did this with groundhogs. There were holes in our yard, and I was afraid my father would put poison out to kill them just for a few innocent holes.

So– I put the matter before God- then I asked the Guardian angels to communicate somehow to these critters, and about a week later, I noticed the holes have sealed up- and there are new holes in the farm fields away from our property. Thank you God!–

In response to Marko’s comment– Yes, the Native Americans may be over-glamorized, but there still is much we could learn from them. The Tribal peoples in America have much wisdom to share. Same thing with India. We can STILL learn from their respect for All life. Every race of people has some negative aspects, but we need to learn from their Good, and to recognize it. A wise man learns from every culture. It doesnt mean that wise man must adopt bad habits from other cultures, but to adopt the GOOD from that culture.

I was stunned for a few moments, like a deer in headlights, by his words.

All the manifest is here to serve life. Life as it’s highest form of evolution in this realm, across all the galaxies and universe manifests as sentient beings. On this planet the most evolved sentient being is called a human. The Human Being has the capacity to serve God at the highest level. A Human Being is the most precious. Then comes the other forms in which life takes shape.

The plants, trees and precious animals have won my heart. But how beautiful is the Human!

The flashing camera bulbs in our case are the flashes of insight and brilliance into the vast human and divine condition we live in.

It’s like drinking a firery exciting cosmic cocktail drink filled with fizzy bubbly effervescent fireworks, enthusiasm, wonderment, merriment with the colour of sunsets and cosmic star clusters, just waiting for our inhaling, Appreciation and Blessing.

HeavenLetters, the blog, all of our/everyones comments and posts are part of the grand cocktail party mix package,– waiting to be served at the table of humanity.

When we know better, we do better. When we know better and don’t do better, it’s because we think we know better but we really don’t. (Laugh!)

However, It might mean we are getting closer to knowing better. It’s called being or becoming more self aware.

When self awareness hits a critical mass within our own unconscious we shift and we find relief and benefit in leaving an old pattern, thought belief etc. for a new or another one in it’s place.

The same is true for our larger self that we call the collective consciousness of mankind.

We make a critical mass shift which is what we are doing now. In fact we as a collective do know better, we just don’t do it, because again, we really don’t know better.

Yet knowing that we can do better but don’t, is the work and play of the tiny seedling blade of grass in the cracked sidewalk of self awareness, that when it blooms and shifts, makes all the difference.

Thus, our loving evolvement continues.

Interesting your perception about the bleeding hearts!

Funnily enough, years ago I had four broken ribs, and at that time, someone suggested that my ribs’ broke in order to open up my heart.

It goes without saying to send love to the one who pulled up the bleeding hearts. He thought they were weeds. He meant only good. He sure didn’t mean harm. (Interesting how I don’t bemoan the loss of the weeds.)

God has said that about sending out love enough times so I’ve heard it! And who doesn’t know that anyway? God has also told us that when we don’t feel love in our own heart for someone, then give them His love. Also God repeatedly tells us to step out of the past. I’d better shape up!

I don’t even remember what that man looks like. I don’t think about him. I wish it hadn’t happened. My heart hurts for the bleeding hearts, or maybe it is that my heart hurts for me to be without them. That is also very beautiful what you said about plants being eternal too. Marko, I have much to learn.

Beloved Marko, the argument you give that the people in India are not all perfect and the American Indians were not all perfect, to my mind, is beside the point. The invaders who came to the New Land and stole it were not wonderful. Their customs were hardly great. Yet love and wisdom can come from anywhere.

Love ya,

Gloria

My problem with the American Indians and the culture of India is that there are two sides to the coin. The American Indians are overly romanticized by many new age people and their culture had many brutal violent aspects to it that people conveniently leave out.

India can treat their animals better than humans. Is that not incredibly skewed? India defends the right to have a class of people as untouchables and they conveniently get away of any responsibility to help them since they believe it’s their (the untouchables) own bad karma that but them there. Yikes!

You might notice my dear Gloria that the “bleeding hearts that are no more” may be literally symbolic of your own overly bleeding heart about the bleeding hearts?

There is such a thing as being overly sensitive as well as not sensitive enough. Most (probably all) loving people do not want to see harm, destruction, cruelty on any living thing.

So I might have you consider pouring and waterfalling a little light and love on that person who may unintentionally have cut your bleeding hearts down. Once you do that, it may create a shift in your feelings back to peace and relief. Which I believe is what your are really asking for here.

Those bleeding hearts are eternal too, they do not suffer as you think they do. Give them over to God and Appreciate, Bless and Thank God for the beauty they had(and still have within you) and the lessons they are now teaching you.
