Your Body Is Speaking
Your heart is no longer being adequately supplied. The vessels that should nourish it are so narrowed that a surgical detour must be laid — a bypass, a rerouting, a new channel, because the old one is no longer passable. Medicine calls it coronary artery disease, arteriosclerosis, narrowing. And the surgery is often life-saving.
But behind the narrowing of the coronary arteries lies a deeper narrowing. Your heart — the organ that embodies love, connection, and the flow of life — is literally being cut off. It is no longer receiving what it needs. Not because it is too weak, but because the paths to it are closed.
Bypass surgery is the moment in which your body says: the direct path is blocked. We must go around. And that is exactly the question this text poses: what in your life have you blocked for so long that the direct path to your own heart is no longer passable?
