picture in my mind

Seek that wisdom
that will untie your knot
Seek that path
that demands your whole being
Leave that is not,
but appears to be
Seek that which is,
but is not apparent.

-- Rumi

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

                                                      i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

-- e. e. cummings




I'm still reading Brene Brown, and then I came across something that totally explained one of the beautiful lines from the Love Yourself highlight reels:

Why is it that the happiest of moments usher in sudden fear?

Most of us have experienced being on the edge of joy only to be overcome by vulnerability and thrown into fear. Until we can tolerate vulnerability and transform it into gratitude, intense feelings of love will often bring up the fear of loss.

-- Brene Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection
