Words to accompany the piece, to be read before, after, or while listening:
Follow your heart.
My wife cannot say Husband with a straight face
She drawls: Huuuuusband.
We’re not sure if it is too much Texas, or too much Dan Savage
Even if it doesn’t fit me
Her saying it lights up my heart.
"We use vegetable proteins in place of eggs," explains Bob Goldberg
What rolls off the tongue like a cheap substitute
Is in fact more delicious.
Forget healthier. It tastes Better.
Follow your heart.
There’s nothing I love more than the long drive from Chicago to the Farm
Seated just to her right. Peach rings and sour gummy worms in the cup holder
Harmonizing to Dave Carter and Tracey Grammer
Eight hours and we’ll see them
Follow your heart.
Driving up the hill
I always crank down the window
Have every single time
Leaning out for that big breath of fresh air
Follow your heart.
Find this near you: the experience that always refills your heart
For me, a long weekend in Ohio
Where I am held close
The place I can leave and say
No matter what happens this year
I was here
And my heart is full.
