Any endeavor which aims to explore the workings of the heart, by necessity, involves some confrontation with a paradox: there is a reality, a lived experience happening inside and around each of us, colored and contoured by a heart we cannot see, touch, or describe from a mechanical or rational perspective. Our empirical and materialistic schemes fail miserably in the realm of the heart. And since we are members of a mechanical-rational-empirical-materialistic society, we are conditioned to ignore the heart. We are conditioned to neglect our intuition, to avoid reaching inward, to belittle the power of this unseen presence inside ourselves, and our fellows. Too often and too easily the heart is either dismissed by cynics, or it is betrayed by flowery language and unclear metaphor.
