The Heart is Where Home is
I was reminded of my heart today. I realized its presence is shamefully easy to forget. It beats, and it speaks, yet I haven’t a moment to notice. I forget about the life it pumps into me, reliable, consistent, patient, unyielding. How it expands to be with whatever comes my way. It breaks for me, aches for me, and reminds me of what is important. My heart swells with pride, flips with excitement, and pounds for love. She breathes life into me and continues to beat when the world comes crumbling down. I think my heart and I have always had a thing for each other. I have a soft spot in my head for my heart. I’ve never criticized her, never hated her, never wished she were different. I’ve hated other parts of me. I’ve criticized every part of me. I’ve wished most of me was different, but not my heart, never my heart. I love how she makes me cry when she feels other's pain. I admire her for opening and re-opening, the only part of me strong enough to show up for life’s next challenge. She softens and steels and softens again.

SEEING WHO YOU REALLY ARE - SUTRA 1.3
In Samadhi, we have direct experience of our existence beyond the level of ego personality, mind and intellect. We experience directly our essential nature as the witnessing presence which is unaffected by all that occurs. This witnessing presence is the Seer - the eternal Self. The term ‘Seer’ holds no religious or metaphysical meaning, it is not something we have to believe in. Sage Patanjali, instead of going into detail on the nature of the true Self, uses the term ‘Seer’ as a means to reference the state experienced when one adheres to the purifying practices of yoga.

Strange memories
This could get confusing as its about my strange memory, I know what I want to write but truthfully I might forget bits while doing it. It has been damaged by breakdowns many years ago and presently due to fibromyalgia. The present disability gives brain fog, getting worse when tired. It means I forget names, places and conversations. I can see what I want to say but the words go missing somewhere between my brain and mouth.
