Heart — Connection
Where in my chest do I allow connection — and where do I quietly close it off?
The heart is not a metaphor. It is a muscle that opens and closes in response to safety.
Many of us learned to keep it half-closed by default, because half-open was once enough to keep us going.
Connection grows where the chest agrees to stay open one breath longer than usual.
