so what exactly is an open heart???

i asked him about living with an open
heart. if he knew how to.

and he looked at me seriously and said
he needed to know what i meant by an open
heart.

he had just described us perfectly....he
said we were like oil and water.
yeah, we absolutely were.

so i laughed, said i'd define it for him
in a sentence or two (or three)......

drove home thinking about it.
decided to look up 'open' in the dictionary.

here we go: here's the parts that i thought
fit really good.....

not closed or barred, having the interior
immediately accessible, extended or unfolded,
free of ice, free of navigational hazards,
free from frost, not covered.

those were the highlights.

so.
a sentence or two or three?

living in a way that you don't close or bar
your heart, in a way that is free from ice,
navigational hazards and frost, in a way that
you are extended, unfolded, and okay with that.
living not closed.

maybe that's the best i'll be able to put in words.
cause, really, it's not words......it's feelings.

if i had to use feelings to define it?

love.

living a life of love.
