Function beyond proven limits


"Take heart!"
"Have a heart!"
"A heart of gold!"
"I love you with all my heart!"
"It doesn't feel right. My heart's beating strangely."

Some common phrases attributing qualities of courage, mercy, kindness, love, and discernment to this organ called the heart in the human body. Science has a simple definition for the heart; expressed in the most basic way: an organ that pumps blood and thus sustains life by it's function. So where have all the other -- clearly scientifically unproven, but very truly felt -- attributes originated from and entered into our expression? Spiritual intuition? Maybe.
