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.

'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)

Born to Create

Photo Source: Pixabay (Photographer:Welcome to All ! ツ ) Yes, it is our nature to fight It is our nature to conquer It is our nature to love and hate  It is our desire to find the meaning of everything We build and destroy We burn things and we grow things We initiate war and declare peace We always compete in everything We were born to create  Create a tower that reach the heaven and look for its Creator Create monuments for ourselves Create the skycrapers to see from above We were born to create Create songs to lift up our praises  Make music to worship The Lord and move the heaven's army Build houses for The Lord and gather up to pray together.
