Cave of the Heart

With a deep breath, I enter my heart cave.

A place of comfort, peace and love.

There I visit my beautiful, wild, inner counterpart.

My deep Heart Cave has gone from a simple altar with candle and my meditation mat, to a blue temple that merges nature and spirit. My eternal male counterpart, my beloved tree and the waterfall gently leading my mind and heart into meditation.
