Direction

This is a Heads or Tails Tuesday post.

The theme this week is 'Direction', and I'm going to interpret it as the "Where to from here?" kind of direction.
I know this is a question I've often asked myself, especially in times of stress or sadness, and I've sometimes struggled to find an answer.
During those times, these words offer me comfort, strength and direction.


When the heart
Is cut or cracked or broken
Do not clutch it
Let the wound lie open

Let the wind
From the good old sea blow in
To bathe the wound with salt
And let it sting.

Let a stray dog lick it
Let a bird lean in the hole and sing
A simple song like a tiny bell
And let it ring

Let it go. Let it out.
Let it all unravel.
Let it free and it can be
A path on which to travel.
