And
every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling,
“This is important! And this is important! And this is
important! You need to worry about this! And this! And
this!” And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand
back, put it on your heart and say, “No. This is
what’s important.”

The heart is resilient, I mean literally. When a body is burned,
the heart is the last organ to oxidize. While the rest of the
body can catch flame like a polyester sheet on a campfire, it
takes hours to burn the heart to ash. My dear sister, a
near-perfect organ! Solid, inflammable.
