Do you wear your heart on your sleeve? Out there to be hurt? I know it beats deep inside your chest and is a driving force. It beats a little harder for some. Incidents can make it miss a beat, happiness causes it to skip a beat, when your scared it seems to stop or pound. You have one heart, it does a lot of work, it is another one of your bodies many filters. This organ seems to be the one we feel with. “ Oh my heart!” Not often replaced with; my spleen, my kidney, my liver.. well maybe!
Our body protects our heart with our diaphragm and a set of ribs, while we may carelessly expose it to constant heartbreak. Or perhaps you have it incased in ice, surrounded by walls, perhaps there is a drawbridge and a moat. Loving freely is a pleasure, but the world isn’t like that. Parents, role models, leaders it is what we want for the world. We do have to reserve a little piece for the very important, like potato water, kept a bit for the gravy. It is a very serious organ, don’t use it all up.
You can’t survive without a heart. Let it function as it is suppose to. Let it take in, filter and give you life. In our bodies it is automatic. In your life you need to learn what to filter. Real hearts can get build up and blockages, life ending stuff. You can only take so much. Learn to protect these tender bits. Kids go to a lot of trouble to tuck in all their stuffies. We go to a lot of trouble to tuck in our kids. Maybe tuck in your heart, save it . Live long, live happy.
