Knowing I've lost people who have been so important to me, even just looking around me makes me feel more a part of the world. But the same also makes me feel as though I'm existing outside of myself. I hope they figure out what's going on and they fix it. Good luck and happy new year.

my heart too, makes me feel the most human. the experience of emotionality, when i can really be with it, especially tenderness, grief, vulnerability and joy, feels essential to what my time here is about. really being with my heart is the most difficult and most rewarding work for me.

It's nothing that affects the way I live my life (at least not until I'm much older), but the knowledge that something isn't quite as it should be did feel... I don't know, strange. Can't think of a better word at the moment. But I am able to find what I've got interesting, too, perhaps similar to that fascination you mention - how things work, sometimes despite whatever flaws or faults there might be. I hope you and your ticker are doing well. Finding out I had a (relatively minor) heart condition a couple of years ago was this kind of moment for me, I suppose.
