If you have a heart like mine, go easy. If your skin feels too thin & your bones eternally bend into the break. Sometimes it’s all you can do to hold your being steady against all the feeling. Like a ticking bomb heading for imminent explosion. Which wire to cut to short circuit the whole thing? Don’t do it. Let the clock count down, feel it all. Find those who can bear witness to the immensity of your good love. Arms that will wrap you in the softest blanket & hold you until the aching stops. Beings who see as much beauty in the world as you do. Find a way to magnify it into something that can stand against the onslaught. Yes, there is a tenderness to holding so much desire & hunger so deeply in your bones. But there is great beauty. Uncontainable strength. A portal to transformative art. A pathway to the kind of compassion that heals. Our hearts? They keep this earth spinning. Make it possible for us to hold our humanity in a world that would rather we leave it behind. The world needs us. I need you. Stay open. Please.
