Good morning, she says, where would you like to go today? – as if she doesn’t have a thing already in her mind and already her every beat planned. Here, she says, a minuscule of a second later and puts a map of strange arrows and mini maps all ways pointing to the center and what is in the center you imagine?
A HEART… of all ways and windows for looking out to clouds and trees and birds and for all you cannot even dream of. A HEART of all magical windows of dreamland you did not even know you were dreaming of before.
It looked a bit complicated at first, the mini maps and arrows pointing in all sorts of directions but if you looked closely and let your finger trace every single thread you would see that it quietly leads to a window in the HEART. How odd!
In through one window and out the other window and there you are on an arrow to another mini map of wonders.
She waited for me to investigate and take in all this setup, silently and not saying a word. But I could feel her excitement and saw the colored pencils in her hand and a compass and a good luck feather and a magical spoon to use as a wand just in case.
She waited patiently all along until I looked up and said: So?
She smiled and answered or rather asked back: Are you Ready?
I said, Well, yes and no and yes again.
Then I looked at the map of maps: All maps leading to the same place: a window in the HEART.
Well, I thought, it wouldn’t hurt trying one mini map this morning, see where it takes me and then I can decide. So I turned to her and finally said, Yes, Ready.
She with her crayons and compass and magic spoon and feather said with a big smile and light in her eyes: Let’s Go!… and off we went to discover the world, in and out of a big HEART.
