Heart's Desire

What is your heart’s desire?

The heart is not a judge of who or what you are.

But it keeps you alive.

What keeps you alive?

What is the only thing you couldn’t live without?

What is the thing that makes you want to cry tears of happiness because you are here and so is it?

Tell me.

Think for a moment.

Then think about how you would feel

If the closest thing that you got to it

Disappeared?

Would you cry tears like you never cried before?

Or would you sit on your bed

And stare out the window

Empty

Closed

Gone?

Then suddenly,

Something inside of you wakes up,

Shakes the water off of it,

And whispers in your ear.

Would you get up?

Would you walk over,

And seize something?

Something that brings you

  One

     Step

       Closer

To your heart’s desire.

The thing that keeps you alive.
