There are things that call to us
Quietly
Gently
Repeatedly

Not with urgency
Not with certainty
Not with demands
But with warmth

A place we long to visit
A garden we imagine
A path we want to walk
A dream we cannot quite forget

The years pass
The seasons change
Life becomes busy
Responsibilities grow
Yet still they remain

Waiting..
Patiently..
Quietly..
Faithfully..

The things that matter to us
The things that bring us alive
The things that make us curious
The things that make us wonder

We tell ourselves there will be time
Time next year
Time when life settles
Time when everything feels easier

Yet the heart continues to whisper
Not louder
Simply again
And again
And again

Because the heart does not speak through certainty
It does not speak through plans
It does not speak through guarantees
It speaks through feeling

Through joy
Through curiosity.
Through hope.

It speaks through the things we return to
the things we are drawn towards
The things that light something within us

And perhaps listening to your heart
is not about knowing where the path will lead
It is simply about taking a step

Towards the things you love
Towards the things that matter
Towards the life that is waiting for you

Because sometimes the most important things in life
are not the things we achieve
But the things we choose
to keep alive within ourselves

Listen to your heart...

It may be telling you the way
long before your mind allows

Listen to your heart..

And dare to follow it
Trust where it leads you..
Allow it to show you the way..
