    We had a massage parlor in my town that had a tree trunk carved into a hand holding a heart.

    It was actually really cool until someone hit it with a pickup.

      That sounds cool minus the truck part

      Was it a heart shape or heart organ, also was it carved like this tree or like carved into with the whole tree still standing

      Why am I so interested in this

        It was 🤎 shaped and it was carved just like this, only it was much closer to the ground. It was also done in a way that it looked like the heart was being gently held.

        The whole thing was maybe 8ft tall.

            Honestly thinking about it now I took it’s beauty for granted. To me it was just a normal feature of our town. Looking back it was an incredible feat of skill and an amazing work of art.

            I honestly wish I had a picture.

              I mean for better or for worse we “tune out” and normalize stuff through repeated exposure, I think it’s cool that you saw it enough for it to be a part of that process

              If I were in your shoes I’d probably see this as bitter sweet because even though it’s gone you can now appreciate it once more
