The heart is pumping hard these days as the mind in full stride runs forward, out, and up, up, up, to where the love begins. I know ‘tis so because I feel within the energy but climb the stairs or walk a block and the heart says, “That’s enough”. The heart, you see, un-nourished then simply shrivels up and who would think that arteries would know to block the blood? They know because they’ve worked a lot needlessly, it seems, to fill the heart with things that last but finally they know the heart must atrophy before a person feels. So come the days of cut and slice and, lo behold, new arteries to start again the same heart that again will atrophy when the carriers of light and love know they’re working needlessly. And so of me and mine within I know ‘tis time to still the heart when the mind runs forward, on, and looks full into the knowing heart cannot make a brand new start without the things that last!

Well it's an awesome dance. And what's really beginning to dawn on me is how closely English speaking peoples think so simularly in so many different ways. This could have been written by any American woman going by the essence and thought relations. Wonderful. ·´~`·»Garapan«·´~`· |
