Anahata
syl muñoz
You're a part of my soul, I said; but what I meant was I know you're my heart chakra; I meant in Sanskrit it means "unstuck, unhurt, unbeaten"; I meant synonymous to compassion, empathy, acceptance; I meant the center of love; I meant light green oxygen; I meant what Rumi wrote love is the bridge between you and everything; I meant: what inspires me to feel more open-hearted? you; I meant curious / funny, fun / kind conversations; I meant I love the sound of your voice; I meant breath of fresh vayu (air); I meant inhale, exhale; I meant around you I can breath; I meant I want to keep on breathing; I meant I'm alive thanks to people like you; I meant you have a good heart; I meant you are a good heart; I meant thank you
