The Key

 

I find an old key in my pocket. What does it unlock?

It unlocks the heart of my beloved.

I take a closer look at the key, squinting to make out the words etched on its handle, and I read the following inscriptions:

Speak kind, compassionate, soothing words

Forgive the faults and forget the pain

Be present in the moment and see the good in everything

I follow the prescriptions of the inscriptions and the gate to my beloved’s heart opens once more.
