Seeker's Animating Innate Vibrance Contest ~ November 2, 2024
Line of inquiry: "betwixt the pulse of our heartbeat simply present, head-heart linking dwelling in time stretched blissful peace awareness became unblinking" Unseeking Seeker He was a charming chameleon, saying all the right things in that beguiling masculine timbre of his sultry voice. Allure in his hazel eyes promised things my heart hadn't felt, but it ignored my head's warning until I had no choice. A niggling of worry continued to swirl through my mind that something was wrong. Something I couldn't quite define. He had shortcomings but to all of them my heart was blind. I desperately tried but reasoning couldn't keep my heart in line. Much is written about the rebellion of a treacherous heart, and how it rhythmically pulses with the need for passion's fire. It's been the cause of many sleepless nights when I'm fraught knowing I cannot extinguish my heart of its burning desire. It has always wanted what it wanted and wouldn't be denied. It's always managed to overrule what my mind was thinking... until it'd been crushed and broken, and only then did it confide that it should've paid more heed to my head and heart linking. Hearts can be guilty of transgressions. Mine was by betraying me. Then it had to pay the steepest price that infatuation could ask. From the grasp of lustfulness, my heart was able to break free. Balancing the volition between mind and heart is not an easy task.
