Hey Dear Tribe:
This weekend finds me at a Writer’s Retreat. Here’s a little something that has been brewing:
The Heart, the fearless worker.
The committed soldier with one job.
Keep it going. Work the pump
From the first sign of life to the very last beat.
The heart carries on.
Steadfast, determined, unthinking, unemotional, the heart.
Contrary to our love and lore, the heart does not get lovesick.
The heart does not break after a torrid affair.
It is not heartfelt, whatever emotion you seek cannot be found in the bottom of your heart; your heart does not desire.
But buried deep within its chambers, encased by bone and cages of rib, deep within the chest, the heart carries on.
Keeper of the blood, mover of life, the heart has one job.
When the brain is sad and tired, pockmarked with trauma and emotion, the heart beats.
For the broken sad mind, the heart is relentless, unshaken by tears, unencumbered by emotion.
A world may be shattered but a heart carries on.
