Meráki (μεράκι) (v.) to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work.{Greek} "The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words." - William H. Gass Look at these words, soak them up. Can you feel the pulse of my heart? It thrums in these pages. Awake, alive, lub-dub, lub-dub, can you hear it? Can you feel it? Maybe you can relate, and your heart thrums with mine. Perhaps our thoughts will - within these pages - somehow intertwine. I'm definitely not the world's greatest poet - but being good isn't what makes you a poet. Being able to capture thoughts, emotions and beauty with words, that is what makes a poet, so I try. This is just a little book filled with my heart's whispers and my soul's breaths - exposed for any who would share in my mind's personal musings. Maybe you will be able to relate, or perhaps you can find some inspiration for yourself. I sincerely hope that you will feel my heart pulse within these pages ♥ and maybe find your own heart in it too.
