on the very next day
after i punched an aggressive clown in a haunted house
and my heartbeat had resumed its normal pace
i found this heart on a sidewalk
made of old gum weathered with time
yet the message was still clear.
—
“i would rather live with a tender heart, because that it the key to feeling the beat of all other hearts.”

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Nice quote from Jenny. The gum heart is unusual, and I can see it is a message.
Best wishes, Pete.

I couldn’t even read your previous post, since haunted houses and such are pretty far down on my to-be-enjoyed list. This one is much more to my taste!

My mind produced thoughts about tenderizing meat. You can beat it to death with a kitchen meat tenderizing tool or you can gently sprinkle some meat tenderizing powder on it.
And then I lost my train of thought ………. 😦

My favorite meditation is feeling all of the hearts in the world beating, from squirrels to whales, to dragonflies.

Ah, that heart, so reaffirming to see, a good reminder. I saw a pancake in the street yesterday as I got into the van. I didn’t not its shape and should have. Rather I wondered why a pancake was in the street.
