Heart


Stop, look around you. What do you see?

Not with your eyes, but with your heart.

What do you see?

 

People: meeting, parting, living, dying.

Nature: flourishing, decaying, living, dying.

Animals: growing, aging, living, dying.

 

What we see, is the truth held close to the heart.

With our hearts, we feel all that is to be felt.

As we live, our hearts will see the most, not our eyes.

 

The eyes can be blinded and the heart can waver,

however,

Even if the eyes are lost, our hearts won't be.

 

Stop, look around and see with your heart.
