Out In the Snow
Story-Telling -- "Out in the snow"
I've seen and heard this advice many times -- "write from the heart" or "follow your heart".
I think, at times, I've probably thrown 'my heart' out of the window, especially when words that came out from my mouth sounded terribly wrong. I often wondered if that was really me talking nonsense based on all the input I received from my surroundings. Nothing seems to be 'real' and 'true' these days with fake compliments and false stories passing around unfiltered.
If lies and excuses are all there is to hear, 'my heart' is better left outside in the snow. At least the falling snowflakes from the sky are pure and true in its creation. You can always trust the snow to be icy cold and white in nature, untouched by the darkness in humanity.
I would rather throw 'my heart' out of the window and into the falling snow. Even if it's cold out there, it'll probably rejoice in the purity and cleanliness of the snowflakes before it reaches the ground.
I leave 'my heart' out there in the snow, knowing that it is safer with nature than with humans.
