POV: Heart Center

Dec 17

Surrounded by warmth

Electricity pulsing

Her steady heart beats

Signals up from the gut: gooey, glitter lava lamp

Signals down from the mind: curious, brilliant galaxy

Inputs never ending:

Forceful, blunt, overwhelming, lovely, scary, loud, gentle, familiar, memorable, surprising

None too much to interrupt.

Thump thump

This rhythm consistent, persistent, home.

She tests her heart all too often, both deliberately and not.

Steadfast.

Thump thump

This heart, deceptively powerful.

Can beat in sync with love

Can rush to help her run

Can protect her when nothing else is certain.

What a gift living inside, dancing with her soul, dressed in God’s armor, spilling out from her center, present whether she is or not.

Thump thump a little louder then.

To bring her back. To remind her…”Here sweet girl, always here for you”

Trust then is whats left. Faith. Belief.

Poised on the corner of the mountain. Heart seemingly stranded opposite the canyon.

She must leap, she must jump, she must

Surrender

She considers letting her guard down.

Bit by bit

Thump thump

Heart. Here. Home.

Her Language
