The Islands in the Center of You

When we think of our hearts, we often think of romance. We forget sometimes that love is other things too

That in the next chamber over, the sky
the mountains,
and the way the trees sway
in the space between them
is a part of us too

That these things can move us in a way that’s different from the way people can.
That both are love connections integral to our experience Here

And if you could sail the waters of your heart, one chamber to the next, what might you find there? What landscapes would rise up from the core of you, to greet you, as your boat touched upon their shore? Which places speak to so deep a part of you that without them, you wouldn’t be who you are

Make time in your life to visit these places like you would an old friend. Not just in your mind, but out here where new adventures wait to be unfolded too. Get out there and immerse yourself in the world, the familiar and the new. Get so lost in the scenery that for a moment, you forget you aren’t a part of it. And take a piece of it with you when you go
