Tiptoeing with your heart

"The heart has the beats

If life hits you hard, you must follow the beat"

This verse simply means 'Follow your heart!'

When talking about the heart, we associate this vital organ with love, passion and hobby. How about heart condition? We need to pay attention to the doctor who keeps checking our heart rate.

I consider my heart as my alarm. If it start to feel funny, I will tiptoeing on the spot, like doing my ancestor's traditional dance, The Maengket Dance of Minahasan. Maengket means dance on tiptoe. Some people in Asia believe that tiptoeing is good for the heart. It increases heart rate and good for blood circulation.

Johny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu and their band Juluka have a song titled

Heart of the dancer (1982)

I like the opening verses:

I want to look in the heart of the dancer

His movements have a magic mystery

They must have a message and a meaning

'Cause his doing something to me.

I believe dancers have stronger hearts. And in their every movement they have a sense of health and miracle.

Adventure with God

Photo Source: Pixabay (Photographer: Natalia Kollegova) The Angel asked, "where are you going?" To the mountain, where I can find the fire hole To the valley, where I can look for the water stream To the city, where I can find an exciting job To the cave, where I can find the bats To the grave, where I can find reality To the highway, where I can feel the velocity To the lake, where I can enjoy silence To the big river, where I can feel the danger To the deep blue sea, where I can see the other creatures I am going on an adventure with God.

'Oat' and 'Out'

"Son, if the oats finish, we may need to go out!" Said a young mother to her little boy. How do you perceive this line, a sad line? Supposing it is a sad line, yes, they need to go out! Even if it is a happy line, they still need to go out. "Mom, let's go out and pick strawberries instead! The boy responded cheerfully. I learned something from children way of thinking, that we can count on their big picture thinking in hard times or dilemma. Photo source: Unsplash (Photographer: No-Revisions)

X'mas Self Esteem

Photo Source: Pixabay (Photographer: Sidra Iftikhar) Merry I live in the capital city and don't have a boyfriend. My parents live in another city. I always spend my Christmas days in a boarding house. Thank God I have a few friends who want to join me at church. Happy I study at college at night and work in the daytime, don't have a boyfriend, my parents have just divorced, and my mom always makes us spend Christmas holiday in a hotel in town. This is how we survive Christmas. Joy I work a full-time job as a waitress in a Chinese Restaurant. I spend my Christmas in a restaurant. I volunteer to work on holiday, because my family is not in this country. My fiancé can not come to see me. The Christmas ornaments are the only festive thing that makes me feel like Christmas day.
