so i've been told....

i'm not sure if i've lived a life prior to the one i'm living now

and

i'm not sure i will live a life after this one is over

but

i've been told

i have and that i will

all i know for sure

is that i wear my heart

openly

and

on my sleeve

~

honestly

there are days

that if i'm not careful

things and people

literally fall right into it

even though it feels so full already

and

i wonder if maybe they just didn't see it

so

after meeting this calf yesterday

i wondered if maybe

in a previous life

she wore her heart on her sleeve

too

and

decided this time

it was more prudent to wear it front and center

so you'd have to get past her

deep as the ocean eyes

and

not a chance in hell of a life preserver

before just falling in

~

after all

a heart can only take so much

can you even imagine the fields of cows surrounding me here in wisconsin.

can you even imagine my excitement when the only field i stopped at on my drive yesterday had a calf with a heart on her forehead. can you.

serendipity i tell you. sweet serendipity.
