Forrest, this is the first piece of writing on substack that has made me cry. Beautiful, love filled, life filled tears. Your poetic words, bathed in so much love, completely touched my heart. Thank you for being you.

if there was a 5k race competition of hearts, you would win by several miles. Luckily for me, there's only one heart... a tapestry of connected beats

Wow! Really? I hope you enjoy it. It was fun to write, but I'm afraid to reread it. I've learned so much since writing it, and am afraid I'd embarrass myself.

I'd love to get your feedback afterwards.

Also, I used the first poem you shared in a friend's birthday card. Thanks again for those beautiful words.
