A Healthy Heart
So, no, I don't mean by "healthy
heart" just the muscle that pumps the blood around
your body, although the word "just" is probably
not apt as it is a pretty critical muscle performing
an extraordinarily important and arduous job, but
it is, at the end of the day, only a muscle. No, when
I say "healthy heart" I mean a spiritual
organ that reflects the integrity and grit of the
individual. As I say above, a healthy heart pumps
not blood, but hopes and dreams and aspirations.
My Father possesses the biggest and
healthiest heart I have ever encountered and he has
survived a couple of physical heart attacks and quadruple
bypass, but therein lies the test for a truly healthy
heart. The moment he was well he was back tackling
challenging tasks and projects, most of which require
significant physical effort, but it is his indomitable
spirit that truly reflects the size and stength of
his deep and profound sincerity. My father is alive
and his life is radiant with a love for life, but
more than that, he has such a big heart that he's
always looking for an opportunity to help others.
I, more than any other member of our family know the
truth about his huge, healthy heart, as I more than
anyone else have sought safe harbour in his help and
support, which has never failed me. He is and always
has been the solid rock in a turbulent ocean. He is
truly big and healthy hearted.
