Fire!

 …the heart leaps

A kindred spirit is close.

Different personalities but same core

Same backbone, different gloss.

 

Beyond the surface

Beyond dollars and bread

Beyond fronting and coding

Errors rebuked but covered.

Intense, consistent and deliberate

Tender.

 

Zero performance required

Just honesty and willingness to grow

Broken but beautiful

Broken and beautiful

Emotion in this context: a state where your blood literally jumps out of your veins at the mention or sight of anything that concerneth the igniting party. Where you wait by your phone literally praying that a call comes in or you refresh your inbox like a gazillion times expecting an unsent message. Truth is, we have no control over these emotions; we don’t solicit for her birth. She just comes upon us suddenly. The only way out is managing her by putting her where she belongs.
