We are like hourglasses — the mind and the heart must balance each other, grain by grain, to keep time moving in the right direction.
This past year brought new environments, new pressures, and honest moments of realizing that when the mind takes over too much, the heart quietly suffers. The mind optimizes; the heart needs to breathe.
A new year is a small mercy: a chance to rebalance. To tend to the heart again. To remember what matters before the next year asks you to forget.
Wishing you peace, health, and happiness in 2018.
