On This Day of Valentines

Inside of each of us, a heart Is ticking to a beat. A cardiologist would find The rhythm rather neat. Our hearts are there to do a job To help us stay alive. Without their pumping motion, All our organs couldn’t thrive. Yet all the credit is assigned To hearts for how we feel. Though brains control emotions, They don’t have as much appeal. So on this day of Valentines, I boldly will refrain From pledging love with all my heart, But rather from my brain.

Does this mean that brainier people love more? lol Emotions are contained in all of our cells, ...modern findings "The Myth Of Normal" .

We’ll all the hearts and brains forgot to put a stamp on my valentines cards. There must be a whole sackful at the post office depot. I guess the hearts thought the brains would take care of it and vice versa. It all makes sense now you’ve explained it, Thanks, Ilene. ;-)

Strong emotional center - beautiful write the heart itself is a 2nd brain via neurocardiologists as 60% of heart cells are neural cells with an electrical amplitude 40-60 times greater than brain waves Connecting the heart to the brain is considered emotional intelligence
