I have a heart condition!

What is our heart? Our heart is that mysterious, wonderful, confusing part of us that enables us to love, laugh, fear, and experience life. It's the sphere in which relationships happen. And it's the sphere in which relationships are broken. Life can be hard on the heart. This world is full of outside influences that have the power to disrupt the rhythm of our hearts. Most are subtle. Some may even appear to be necessary as protection from further disruptions. Over time we develop habits that slowly erode our heart's sensitivity. The inevitable pain and disappointment of life has caused us to set up walls around our hearts. Much of this is understandable. But at the end of the day, there's no way around the truth; Our hearts become out of sync with the rhythm it was created to maintain.Those things that disrupt the rhythms of the invisible heart linger. If left alone, some will linger for a lifetime. After a while we come to accept these disrupters as part of us, part of our personality. And so we catch ourselves saying, "That's just the way that I am." But we weren't always that way. And those closest to us know it. So let me ask you, how are things with your heart? Not your career, your family, or your finances. Your heart. Chances are, you've never stopped to consider your heart. And why should you? There are meals to fix, calls to return, bills to pay, baths to give. If at the end of the day you're all caught up with these things and someone ask, "How are things?" you can smile and sigh and say, "Fine." But this is a different question. It's a more important question. And yes, it's and awkward question!
