Reviving the Heart
Falling in love: such a soft and easy phrase, like tumbling into a featherbed or a stack of newmown hay.
But when one has been without the heart a desert, dry as dust falling in loves akin to the violence of birth: everythings narrowed, shut up tight, needing to be forced open not to expel, but to accept the thrust of emotion.
Its not like riding a bike, you know. You can forget how to love, both in the giving and receiving.
Falling in love like birth is work, not a cheap and easy talent nor a skill once learned that snaps right back the next time you attempt it.
The heart has no muscle memory. Once neglected, the elasticity evaporates and leaves a barren chamber. You cant jumpstart it. No storebought wire will send forth revivifying juice.
Rather, the heart must be massaged, persistently but gently, from inside and out; coaxed back to life through effort, perseverance. Falling in love after so long a drought is work. 2011 RC deWinter
