Description
Shhhh... time is quiet.
Fluttering wings beat against
the wind like a song.
Tabula Rasa
Aristotle and Plato
debate the blank slate
But not me... I feel.
The soul is slightly complex-
each view holds some truth.
And what one wonders
matters little- it's living
with the heart that counts.
We are who we are.
Walking our paths- side by side-
parallels now merge.
Shhhh... time is quiet.
My heart is beating against
fluttering moments.
---listen---
In this new silence
the sound of your calm breathing
reaches out to me.

Indeed. I was reading about Tabula Rasa the other day. It kind of speaks to the nature versus nurture question. Whether we are born with innate characteristics or if our environment shapes us into who we are. The twins raised separately studies speak to this... I believe there is much popular consensus that some things are innate (nature) and others are learned (nurture)- a melding of the two theories. But hey, I'm no social scientist! LOL. A heart without brains is a painful experience. But often, our hearts lead us where our brains tell us we shouldn't be going- but sometimes, what can you do? Kind of the "better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" frame of thinking. And brains without heart is to live life without passion and joy. How wise is that anyway? Perhaps smart, but wise? Mmmmm. Me, I'm not judging either way. I try to follow where my heart tells me my Truth lies. This is hard... but often, if you listen intently, your heart will tell you the secrets your subconscious hides from your brain. It is a whisper... listening to that low whisper can take you in difficult territory but can also move you forward to learn valuable lessons about yourself and life. Just one crazy person's thoughts in a world full of crazy thoughts... Thanks for the comments! I appreciate them much.
