I'm reading "The thorn bird " by Colleen McCullough( Australian author)
It is really an interesting book.
The book is very meaningful
Long Ago, there was a bird to sang just once in its life.
From the moment it left its nest, it searched for a thorn tree.
and it never rested until it found one.
Then it began to sing more sweetly
than any other creature on the face of the earth.
And singing, it impaled its breast on the longest, sharpest thorn.
But as it was dying, it rose above its own agony
to out-sing the lark and the nightingale.
The thornbird pays its life for that one song
and the whole world stills to listen
and God, in His heaven~smiles.
As its best was bought only at the cost of great pain.
Driven to the thorn, with no knowledge of the dying to come.
But when we press the thorn to our breast,
We know........
We understand.....
And still......we do it.
The thorn bird

The heart...
It is too bad that the heart does not come with a sort of spam blocker...keeping out those who would cheat it, cause it great pains or make it pay for the act of loving!
To love is a great risk and to not love is an even greater one.
(lest the heart/soul should forget how to do it)
just some thought on the subject of heart
love to all....(mine to you)...it is free, after all.
