"The whole thing, the most difficult thing, is to wake the heart. Somehow one has to learn to be able to live in the heart, to judge from the heart, as ordinarily as we live in mechanical mind and judge from that. It is shifting the center of attention in oneself. For the movements of the heart are so quick that only if one can learn to live there for some time, is it possible to catch them as they pass and obey them. This also means that we have to learn to feed the heart, taking emotional impressions directly there; just as we now take knowledge directly into the mind."

here, with you.
in the middle of this
not knowing,
in between these
lines of
what-i-hope-could-be-love,
in this liminal
neither here nor
there;
i have found some peace,
some hope,
some grace,
in breath,
in body.
despite this longing
to return,
to begin and reunite
for the first time
all over again;
there is promise
in patience,
power in memory
of your lips pressed to mine,
sweetness in all
aches you create inside me.

I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I’m gonna cut it out and then restart
