My elastic heart, once closed so tight-fisted
Like that ancient tree trunk in the park
Gnarled and twisted, hard and dense
Now stretched to capacity, unfurled beyond its former limits
Overflowing with golden-colored warmth
That’s what love did, it stretched my heart open
Like the petals of a tulip in full bloom,
Expanding daily, taking up more and more space in the world
Life On The Skinny Branches 
Beautiful. I feel a little this way myself at the moment 😀

It is, but it is also scary. I have never felt as open and emotional as I have recently. I am very happy but happiness is something I am not accustomed to either. All my life I have alternated between just about ok and miserable. This is new.

That is worth writing about. Most people don’t think to share about that part of growth. I relate so.
