The Posture of the Heart

The quiet direction we lean before we move

The heart leans before it moves.

Not all at once — but gradually,

through small reactions and repeated responses.

Over time, this lean becomes posture:

the steady tilt of the heart.

Not just a passing feeling,

but an orientation inside us —

shaping how we listen, decide, and respond.

A gentle wondering:

What posture has your heart leaned toward this week —

openness or defensiveness,

patience or hurry?
