How To Open Your Heart

Take a plastic knife lay down and put it over the place where your heart is hiding. Close your eyes; if behind each eyelid you see a baby seal being clubbed to death then that's a sure signal you always meant well, but the seal still died. On the other hand, if you see an injured songbird fluttering weakly in your closing fist then that's a sign you have forgotten where you left your heart. Move the plastic knife around your chest until you hear the bleating of lost lambs. Give thanks for being soft and pliable still, and not hard enough to break the point off a plastic kitchen knife.
