Peace in the Heartland

By: Nancy Johnson

Long Beach, California

The heart.

It starts there.

There must be some connection of personal truths.

An innocence, an acceptance,

a welcomeness of stillness.

Authenticity unclouds and undisturbes.

Your own heart reaches out and

holds you joyfully.

You are full –

able to watch and let go.

All the while reaching toward another heart,

aware and alert, deeply calm and peaceful.

While resting,

the heartland grows in truth.
