“The very center of your heart is where life begins. The most beautiful place on earth.” ~ Rumi
What, exactly, is the heart of the matter?
If you listen, what does your heart tell you?
What does it mean to “Follow your heart”?
Heart land? Heart song?
This weekend the question was asked, “Do you think there is an absolute truth?” I amused myself thinking of the oxymoron in the terms ‘absolute’ and ‘truth’. I am almost certain – but not absolute – that the question was really about the location of the center of heart. Is there a heart center? Where is the center of the universe? Here. And everywhere else.
Kerri pitched the small piece of chain onto the counter, saying, “This goes in the special box.” It landed in the shape of a heart.
“Hi, Pa!” I thought, and we laughed.
We wear pull chain as bracelets around our left wrists; the original pieces came from her father’s workbench. They are connective tissue to him and to each other. Heart chain. They periodically break so we are many generations from the original. The current chain is symbolic. This heart-piece was from my most recent chain break.
“What are the odds?” she asked.
Yes, indeed. What are the odds that a piece of pull-chain could so quickly bring us to the heart of the matter?
