Your heart beats about 72 times each minute.
Without asking for attention, without praise, it just… continues. Through joy, grief, stillness, and chaos. Quietly, it does its work.
Over a lifetime, your heart will generate more than 15,000 megajoules of energy. That’s enough to drive a truck to the Moon—and back.*
It’s a striking comparison. But here’s what matters more:
You’ve carried the power of a lunar expedition in your chest all this time.
Not to go somewhere else. But to be here.
To love. To grieve. To hold hands.
To say the unsaid.
We spend so much of our lives preparing for things that may never come.
The next chapter. The next task. The next version of ourselves.
But the heart never waits.
It beats for this moment. For what matters right now.
So what if we took a moment to listen to it?
To ask:
❤️What still needs to be spoken?
❤️What are we carrying that could be set down?
❤️ Who needs to know they mattered?
The truth is: we don’t need a crisis to begin preparing for death.
We only need a heart that’s still beating.
And when we do choose to prepare—emotionally, practically, lovingly—it isn’t just about dying well.
It’s about living better.
Whether you are far from that moment or feeling its closeness…
You don’t have to face this alone.
There is a way forward—even if you can’t see it yet.
And if you’re ready, we can begin that gentle, grounded walk together.
*The average adult heart beats approximately 72 times per minute at rest, according to data from the American Heart Association. Over the course of a typical lifetime, the heart produces an estimated 15,000 megajoules of metabolic energy—enough, in theory, to drive a mid-sized vehicle to the Moon and back. These figures are based on widely accepted physiological models and cardiac output estimates.
