Listening to Your Heart - A meditation on movement

Happiness.

They ask me what is happiness?

And, fool me, I looked into books

to find the answer.

Happiness.

I ask myself what is happiness?

And the muscle in my ribcage

slowly murmurs:

happiness is movement,

slow flow, fast flow,

intense beat, slow contraction,

arching your fingers,

rotating your head,

balancing your hips,

stepping, pressing,

extending and folding,

happiness is movement,

cells moving inside bodies,

effervescent cells with complicated laws,

laws of movement,

of in and out,

of to and fro,

of up and down.

I guess this is what they meant

by listening to your heart.
