So poignant. I love how it's written. This is in my list of faves of yours!
The cold reliability of a machine vs the leaning of a warm heart 👏
Hearts, much like compasses, sometimes get caught up in fields of attraction that keep them from pointing true.
You didn't have to attack me like that 😅😅 I feel many of us would be able to relate to this!
True north - the reliability of a compass to unfailingly guide us to our destination. I love the contrast of the infallible instrument with the fallible heart. Again, really fine work.
True north never dies
This, I love! The uncertainty of love with all its ups-and-downs. Made me smile but also made me sad, recognising it for exactly what it is. Excellent!
