heart-path

42_heart-path1

The road I walk is not straight, but rather follows my heart. And I can see that sometimes ― from the outside ― it seems to meander in unpredictable ways. But my heart has never lied to me. Has never steered me into a situation I couldn’t eventually handle. Has never forgotten that u-turns are a valuable and viable way to travel. For it’s not indecision or lack of conviction that encourages me to double back on myself, but rather a desire to revisit something beautiful, something I hadn’t fully internalized, something bigger than I was able to absorb the first time around. My heart is not interested in the efficiency of direct routes, or getting somewhere quickly, or at a certain time. Instead it craves the quality and depth of connection, the willingness of another being to slow down and engage in a full sharing of attention, the courage and humility of opening to each other in every way we know how.

my heart

41_my_heart

My heart is a ball of fire. It engulfs. Ignites. Illuminates. Sparks populate the night sky, dance over water, melt frozen masks and reveal vulnerable inner truths ― mine and others.

My head is a cool ocean ― turbulent on the surface but calm and eternal underneath. The water shifts ideas, rearranges them, recycles them, sometimes crashes them into rocks on the shore.

My soul is the wind, ever present but made visible only by what it moves.
