Listen to Your Heart

“I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart.  I am.  I am.  I am.” ~Sylvia Plath

  It is never too late in the day or in your life to listen to the sighs of your heart. The interesting thing about your heartsounds is that we don't physically hear our own heartbeats, we feel them. Sometime you feel your heat beating faster when you are around the one you l0ve. Other times, you can describe the steady beat symbolically with words. 
   In  her book, "The Bell Jar,"  Sylvia Plath finds the lyrics : "I am. I am. I am." The beating heart symbolizes this bodily desire for life . As the years of your life tick by,  reach into your heart and find not only those words that keep you alive, but also the words of self-love. Listen to your your own heart. That bray or brag is a constant reminder of our precious life  and our deep need to love.

Sylvia Plath
