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

When the Heart Beats
Heart-
You feel my Heartbeat,
Beat...
Heart-
Can you feel my Heartbeat...?

The heartbeat,
reminds us that strength and softness
exist as one,
one unit of energy - one pulse
pumping 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
or the still small voice inside.

Heart-
Listen to the Heartbeat,
Beat... Beat...
Heart, can you feel my Heartbeat...?

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,
- 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-
Beat... Beat...
Can you feel your Heartbeat...?
