Dear Wisdom Boy,

How does one get back a remembering heart? Is a heart meant to be remembering? Was it all my imagination of a heart that remembered it once had a future?

~ Truly of The Yard 

Dear Yardly of the True,

Yes, a heart is meant to be remembering, dear one. That’s what makes them so painful sometimes. And oddly enough, the way to get back your remembering heart is to forget – and to forgive. Forgive your heart for being so painful to you, and forgive whoever or whatever gave you that pain that drove away remembrance.

It’s partly your imagination, since imagination is a part of everything we experience, but it’s also true that your heart has a glorious future. Every beat it takes drives you forward to that future. Beat on, and remember.

Remember, remember, remember,

Wisdom Boy
