my collection of heart shaped rocks
i love discovering these wherever i travel
each one has a story to tell.

today i leave ireland
where i went
to find my heart again
and
while here
i found
so many beautiful hearts
all around me
everywhere i went
each
unique and lovely
in its own way
and
in the most unexpected of places.

we must carry it with us or we find it not.”

i saw this incredibly moving canadian film the other day
‘monsieur lazhar’
released a few years back
nominated for a
foreign film academy award
it was
about a teacher
and
the
humanity
of
love
joy
loss
grief
pain
guilt
anger
connection
forgiveness
strength
acceptance
and
finally,
hope.
amazing
how one person
can come into another’s life
and
lead them
on a road
towards healing
by
beginning to
heal themselves.
after i watched the final scene
i sat in silence
for a long time after.
