How to tune a heart.

The heart tunes when we begin letting go to what isn’t and start clinging to what actually is. 

Fear isn’t much more than an accuser and a thief. Hence the constant trial and robbery we feel when we can’t let go. All the while, Love is the fuel and the engine, the river and the ocean, and the song and the dance of reality’s gorgeous storyline. Hence the cosmic connnection to all things when we’re dialed into and clinging to this Love.

The heart tunes with a surrender to the moment…

…and when the ego lays down…

…and when joy is the thread we choose to weave the blankets of our lives with.

Tune the heart.

Warm the soul.

Sing thy grace.

Things we often forget to remember…

Rest is part of the journey.

Faces > Places.

“No” can and will save you.

The future only comes to us and happens in the now.

Meaning, peace, and joy hold hands and have parallel trajectories.

We are family.


Hopefully we can start remembering not to forget.
