The heart beats in its cage

The Strokes sing a song "Heart in a cage".



Great song. 

They sing ...

"Oh the heart beats in its cage
I don't want what you want 
I don't feel what you feel
See I'm stuck in a city
But I belong in a field"


Cages are scary.
I like the idea of being in a field.
It feels spacious.
Nobody wants to be stuck.
I like the idea of belonging.

My field is the ocean.
What's yours?

My Heart Wanders

Recently I bought "My Heart Wanders" by Pia Jane Bijkerk for my wife for mother's day. It's one of her favourite books.





It's a really interesting and inspiring book about following your heart. After some thought I realised there is so much heart wondering going on. I regularly stumble onto someone musing about their heart whether it be through music or through writing. This blog will hopefully highlight some of them. Who knows I might even have a few thoughts of my own.
