The mind is a strange thing; an insatiable creature.

It screams wildly and suffers when we don’t have what we want—yet it somehow finds that same suffering when we get exactly what we thought we wanted.

The mind is a terrifying and great magician, creating problems and pain out of thin air.

But the heart, the soul; they know better.

They shine with grains of otherworldly knowledge.

They find juicy gems of joy in the darkest depths of despair and raw pearls of inspiration in the most crushing moments.

Respect your mind; it’s clever.

Bow down to your heart, she’s wise.

Get your knees dirty, drop your head down, and listen.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Your heart, with every beat, spills luscious oceans of truth.

She reflects your soul’s softest whispers.

Your heart,

She’s wise.
