Mind of the Heart

Line of inquiry: “feeling not thinking, soul with love linking ~ we attained God consciousness unblinking” There are times I'm torn between feeling and thought, consciously aware of a dispute between mind and heart. I become anxious when I realize there's a power struggle and my doleful soul seeks a tranquil place to snuggle. Somewhere deep inside of me where it's more docile until my heart and mind call for a truce and reconcile. Unfortunately, that's short-lived... a temporary thing. Until again, they'll fight like pugilists in a boxing ring. Rodin didn't sculpt The Thinker inside each human mind but the psyche often chides the heart, "Love really is blind." Divine, are those gifts God has so generously given to us but they don't always come to terms, and it creates a fuss. The heart yearns for love, the mind searches for a reason. Scripture says the heart is treacherous and commits treason. My mind stands guard, to prevent my heart from breaking but despite the risk, my heart finds it worth the undertaking. A logical mind weighs pros and cons, thinking pragmatically Bah, cries a heart, "Life should be lived more romantically." They grind on each other as if one a mortar, the other a pestle And so, the mind and heart will continue to quibble and wrestle. The soul always reappears when a modicum of peace holds fast but the truce between heart and mind is destined never to last. Although instrumental to a soul's well-being, they will disagree. Mind rules a heart, or vice versa. Que sera sera. What will be will be.
