Valentine

A Valentine for you...

Dear heart,

Heart that has always been there.

Heart that has never left me.

You speak, without words.

You sing, without sounds.

You flow, through all things, and know no barriers.

You transcend time, and space, and matter.

You connect.

And heal.

Heart.

You have been through so much.

And still you seek to expand, to hold and to love, and grow.

Still your voice is heard.

Still, you beat.

Still, you sing.

Still, you seek to love all you see.

You are there in the stillness.

You are there, in all conditions.

You send out your call without obstruction.

You communicate perfectly.

Thank you heart.

For staying.

For loving uphill, and downhill, and from every direction, and at every turn, and staying with me on every path, and every road, in a crowd, or alone.

You were there.

Always.

Thank you for saying the truth, with every beat of your existence.

That love is its own muscle, and gives life to the entire body, communicating its message every moment, every second, without delay.

A truth that never ceases. A voice we all carry. A drumbeat of God’s grace, and goodness, pulsing through every cell. Love is our lifeblood.

Love is holding everything together.

Love.

Through storms.

And all kinds of weather.

Thank you heart.

For healing.

For knowing the truth beyond this dance.

Beating to the universal dance all hearts are doing.

Thank you for giving.

For expanding.

For knowing.

For listening.

Thank you for teaching me to love love.

Thank you heart for teaching me to choose you, first.

Thank you for giving me guidance, heart.

Heart. That communicates with all hearts.

Open.

Giving.

Trusting.

Flowing.

Thank you for holding the banner of truth, keeping it alive, no matter what you were told. For speaking the truth. Never quieting. Always present.

Heart.

Indwelling in all of us.

This truth.

Its own kingdom unfolding, and blooming as it knows itself, and expands in another.

Thank you for loving when it seemed impossible.

Thank you for healing, and softening and connecting all that was broken. Thank you for mending, thank you for understanding beyond the imperfection of form, and words, and thoughts, and deeds.

Thank you for transcending these things, for going beyond what ears can hear, and eyes can see, and taste, and touch.

Thank you, for loving.

Thank you for letting me know a voice that is the truest sound.

Thank you heart, for teaching me boundlessness. Thank you for teaching me, through your quiet steadiness.

Thank you for sending out your signal. Time, and time again.

That your truth.

Is here.

It has always been.

It always will be.

And as I recognize you, I recognize that you have been always here. Giving without condition. Loving without a reason. Knowing, without a teaching.

Wise. Without words.

Trusting.

Thank you heart.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for your warmth.

For your direction.

And protection.

For your vision, beyond sight.

For your goodness.

Heart.

Something so obscure.

Something so resilient.

A power of powers.

You can feel.

Strong heart that speaks so loudly, other hearts start singing with it.         And the warmth created, feels tangible, and real, an element unseen, felt, beautiful.

A beat, that never stops.

A heart.

Who can grasp its value?

Who can know its worth?

Oh heart.

Would that all hearts knew how beautiful you are. How good.

If your voice was heard.

Everyone would stop needing, and grasping, and warring, and searching.

Simultaneously.

And start, loving.

And living.

And giving.

And the whole world’s soul would be fed.

And the whole world would know.

That the heart of me.

Is the heart of you.

Is the heart of the earth.

And stars.

And sky.

And the heart of everyone else.

And the body would finally know the heaven it had been searching for its whole life----that paradise had been within a hearts beat away, this whole time.
