Move over Willy-boy. Here is the difference: The Head represents the center of reason, It is the Crown of Creation. The Heart, on the other hand, is the center of being ... it is both the spiritual and the physical. It is represented on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. And the winner is ... at least for today ... The Heart. Ah ... what an organ ... within which resides all feelings and emotions. We don't say I love you with all my head, do we? Did you know that in some circles of reasoning one measures the life span of all living creatures by the amount of beats produced by the living heart. I have heard said that by that reasoning ... all creatures live about the same amount of time ... in heart beats that is. Let's see .... sixty or so beats a minute ... sixty minutes in an hour ... 24 hours in a day ... methinks I'm getting a headache. And let me tell you ... getting a headache is a real heartache. So how important a role does the old ticker play in the everyday lives of men? Well ... the Aztec priests ripped the hearts out of hapless victims. When Cupid roams he pierces your heart with an arrow. Cruelty is defined as heartlessness. Begging is to ask one to "have a heart." Hearts of slain enemies were eaten to gain courage. And last but not least ... African bushmen would not let their children eat the hearts of Jackals ... fearing it would make those children cowardly. Of course ... in my mind this conjures up zillions of children scurrying about the African plains ... trying to catch a jackal in order that they might rip out his heart and eat it. Mmm. Yummy. I guess they don't have popcorn over there. Or we don't have jackal-hearts delicacies over here. Once upon a time there was a man who wanted to give his wife his heart wrapped as a gift for Valentine's Day. Lest you all begin to shudder uncontrollably as this point ... envisioning our hero slitting open his chest with a sharp blade and delicately removing his precious pulsating organ and then winding a ribbon around it and presenting it to his wife ... as most men are wont to do ... I am here to say lax-up. Once upon a time there was a jeweler named Verdura ... and Verdura made two --only two--rare yellow sapphire and diamond wrapped-heart brooches ... and our man bought one and gave it to his wife. And it is a stunner For those of you who are new to this thing called Tidbits...may I direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where you will scroll down the left side menu till you get to the area that says Tidbits Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: Heart ... in order to view an organ without equal. And there ya have it. That's it for this week folks. Catch you all next week. Benjamin Mark All issues of Tidbits are copyrighted and available from our home page. All rights reserved. |
