Chapter 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To learn about the invisible, look at the visible.
-TALMUD~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"...But seeing hearts is one thing; acting from the open heart - where creativity settles and deepens until it finally comes forth as expression - is something else. The outside hearts popping up all around serve to remind me."

"Speak to your heart now and then. Scientists say that there are brain cells in the heart...human conciousness may well be centered in the heart."

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR HEART

"Dear Heart"

It's good to do in the middle of the night.

Let your heart write back to you.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
-from FOOLSGOLD by Susan Wooldridge

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eyes.
