The Medicine Bag of the Heart

From the collection: Across the Pacific

There is

Hidden

Secret inside your

Heart.

The heart is a cave

A place of emptiness

Awaiting fullness.

The heart is a cup

A place of fullness

Awaiting giving.

The heart is a medicine bag

filled with

sacred objects.

Four chambers

Four directions

Four seasons

the heart is a medicine wheel

Reorienting you

when you are lost.

The heart

receives the good & the bad,

gives the good & bad,

neither holding on nor rejecting

All that the flow of life brings in —

oxygen-rich, carbon dioxide-heavy,

Giving and Receiving

A hundred thousand times a day.

The heart is a cave

filled with darkness

that holds the light

of the sacred objects

filling the medicine bag

that is your heart.
