If you stop, listen close enough, put your ear to the winds and just silence the rest, you’ll hear it. Like musician in stage light, this old heart of mine thumps wildly, drumbeats against the noise I endure, and I call it a strong heart. Loudly it beats for those I love, those I care for, those I hope daily for better things, for bigger dreams, for calmer nights, for health and joy and love and happiness and peace and a contentment in their own hearts. This heart beats for those I allow in, for I do not allow in many, I cannot fit them all.
And this, exactly this, is what made me fall in love with you. The passion you have for everyone you meet. The care you take to try to make everyone feel loved inspires me everyday.
You and your wonderful heart, filled with so much life that it just pours out of you and we are the fortunate ones that receive it. Thank you, it means so much to so many of us to have found you and to have this wonderful love and support!
I love your haiku today so very much. It finds such an echo in me. My heart is really big and motivates all I think and do. And here’s the proof …
———
Dwelling in my Heart
———
my heart’s an ocean
that reaches out far and wide
and calls me by name
———
it does share with me
love, sadness, and compassion
and knows my longings
———
I hear it’s loud call —
my heart does know me so well
and nourishes me

Some misunderstand a bleeding heart
As a weakness
But I contend the only weak heart
Is a frozen one.
If there be blood
There be life
There be longing
There be love
The heart that bleeds for others
Beats the drum of humanity
Carries on the reason.
We can, we must
We will, we love.

I see you, Tyler Knott Gregson.
Namaste, friend. 💛
Fire, in our blood, in our soul, in our thoughts - do we keep it still or share? Who gets to witness our fire?
