“Turn and go back to the last thing
you remember doing
with your whole heart.”
– Joyce Sutphen
Even without a roadmap I can follow the song of my heart's direction. Sing along while keen to its increase. Turning in time so as not to lose the melodic trail. Ears intent on my wholeness of being Filtering freefalling notes once lost easing my ache of confusion. © Ali Grimshaw 2023 Coddiwomple (v.)

Hearty words. I also appreciate the advice above.
And I love those stairs. Discovered them on our last trip to San Francisco. (Excellent advice from a friend there)
Have a nice week-end

Thanks for letting me know you stopped by. I loved these stairs! We walked 7 miles that day and almost didn’t make it here. Isn’t it wonderful that there are so many beautiful little surprises to be found?

Haha! 7 miles sounds about right. we walked from the Golden Gate Park and de Young museum. It’s right around the corner… Haha! Not quite. But well worth the walk…
Yes there is beauty everywhere.

… I can follow the song
of my heart’s direction – I loved this part where you used simple language to explain the more complex ideas behind what you were looking for.
Thanks for sharing and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

Ah – a poem like a breath of fresh air. Coddiwompling seems be largely a forgotten art these days. I wish more people would remember those melodic heart trails.
