Brilliant Jamie! Love the whole concept and poem. This part really resonated with my heart:

"Take off your shoes

Let your heart be your eyes

Emancipate your body

Leave behind the husk

Arrive as the grain

Breathe out the fear"

Thanks for this. I see why you "liked" the Mary Oliver poem "The End of Summer" over on Jeff Goins' Substack. Your poem reminds me of it.

I guessed the spelling wasn't a mistake - your writing is too good for that. Love this explanation with its combination of being both heartful and curiously questioning - great word.

Thanks Phoebe! I can’t blame it on Canadian spelling this time lol. Cuore= heart and. Osity= a state of being. The heArt of Being! Thanks for joining this journey and living into the questions with me. It’s nice to share with you here. 🙏❤️

How wonderful that I found your lovely writing. I love your brilliant combining of the concepts of heart + being into a new word, Cuoreosity! That Rilke quote has long been one of my favorites. I look forward to reading more of your writing.
