I Would Like to Live in My Heart
I live in my head mostly
but I'd like to live in my Heart!
My head is so noisy, all those
thoughts banging around,
calculating, analyzing, judging,
comparing, discerning.
Too Damn Noisy!
So I have started to
slide
down my
throat
into my heart!
It’s so nice to abide
In the heart.
All you hear is a
soothing beat.
There is a nice soft pillow
in my heart to sit on, or lay
on, and it’s warm and cozy.
When you look out at the
world from your heart
(without all the noise in you head)
the world appears softer,
more welcoming. Sure there is suffering,
quite a bit actually.
But you don't get as depressed
when you abide in your heart.
You may get melancholy,
which is a mixture
of sadness and sweetness, empathy really.
I guess the sweetness comes from
realizing we’re not alone.
We all suffer,
we just have different stories we tell
ourselves about our suffering..
but really the suffering is all the same.
We’re all in this together.
Without all that head noise
I’m free
to start sending out little
blessings-
“May we all be healthy, may we be peaceful,
may we experience an ease of
Well-being.”
