"Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage not weakness"
                                                                                                                                           -Katherine Hensen

Heart-
Can you feel my Heart - Beat,
Beat...  
Heart - Beat,
Can you feel my Heart - Beat...?
 
The heartbeat,
reminds us that strength and softness
exist as one-
One unit of energy - One pulse of life
into life, from within the whole.
It is from within this flexibility,
the fluidity of these two dynamics
that we sustain our internal power-
 
The body is the mechanics of being human 
but the Heart, 
is the Sophistication of Spirit, our S.O.S.
the message broadcasting system,
the still small voice inside
 
Heart- Beat.
Listen to the Heart - Beat,          
Beat...         
Heart- Beat,   
Can you feel my Heart - Beat,
Beat...?
 
When the HeArT BeAts, 
there is a strong beat followed by a softer beat 
that space between-
is where the heart breaks, just a little bit
every time it pumps-

Bump...
       bump... 
 
Bump...
       bump...
 
Bump...
       bump...
 
Yet every time the Heart-
Beats and
            Breaks,
 
Breaks and           
              Beats,
You remain strong inside that little bit of brokenness-

The stronger beat is Life Pumping Energy,
a reminder to stand up for what you believe in
or what is your TRUTH-
The softness that follows, the Break in the Beat
reminds you to protect your heart,
keeping your strength intact.
The Heart Says,
STAND - IN - YOUR - TRUTH
so that,
YOUR TRUTH BECOMES YOUR LIFE.
 
Brokenness makes you softer
and softness makes you stronger-
and so, the cycle repeats itself,
over and over again-

Heart…   
Can you feel your Heart
                                      Beat...
