Found (or Lost) Love

I found this note while on my daily walk. It was folded neatly at the top of a bridge.

I am curious to know the ending of this story.

Just teasing. Sounds more like someone felt a need to express themselves and Japanese reserve did not allow dancing around and shouting. She shared it with the world in a way she did not imagine

The film ‘Secret Life of Bees’ features a wall where notes are put between the rocks, but in remembering and releasing loss rather than joy.

It’s interesting that she did have the insight to see that it arose in herself, even in an emotional moment.

I like you interpretation of the whole thing. It hadn’t occurred to me in that way.

I did not really think anything bad happened up on the bridge. Now, if there were a pair of shoes next to the note, it would be an entirely different story.

I enjoy finding these kind of things, but it rarely happens.
