the heart and the world
posted by drew

The heart is a begging bowl. The world is a luminous coyote. The heart: a mad genius. The world: a standing wave. The world is a goddess of energy. The heart is a monolith on the moon. Earth: dream-blossom of the cosmos--silent universe, speaking in species. The heart is aquatic. The world is promiscuous. The heart is a problematic documentarian. The world is a god-drunk flood of physics.

renata about the heart and the world says:
February 12, 2009 at 05:34 AM
"take heart" means take a deep breath, take courage ,move the world.This is very creative. You never say "take the world". This would be very destructive. You only say"on top of the world". This is safe, a bird's eye view which means different things to every heart. You only say"from the bottom of one'sr heart".This is safe, a worm-eye view,as the heart is generally known to be a bottomless pit. There is no top wihout the bottom, they are two parts of the same definitiont
