"The Force"

Have you ever thought about the heart? ...not the muscle but the idea that we can't quite get our heads around but we through the word around like we can. Each person's "heart" reacts differently to everything. I watched a movie about sled dogs surviving the antarctic the other night I can't help but wonder how in the world I can care about dogs in a movie? How can a person care about anything? It's quite a wonder how the heart works...how we can feel anything. Emotions...we all feel them but no one knows where they come from. I suppose some would argue from the brain but still if it comes from the brain than where in the brain does all these feelings come from? The way a person sacrifices his life for his brother, what motivates that? One can't simply explain it away as a reaction in the brain to certain that are trained...it has to be bigger than that. If it was that simple we'd just be robots and just turn off our emotions. Maybe the heart is tied to the spirit, something free and independent of our physical beings. All I know is that it drives people to live and breath every day. We all feel the beating of our hearts but there's something deeper we feel all the time too...some in explainable force that's so dynamic and abstract. In the movie the owner can't sleep over these dogs, he travels across the country begging people to help him get to these dogs...dogs...if it was simply a brain thing that would never happen. Yet these emotions aren't just limited to hollywood flicks...we all experience. We all feel connected to life whether it be people or dogs. I recall Avatar again (yes I'm a big fan) when they talk about how the whole planet is connected through the trees and when they tap into this network amazing things happen. Well, I think our hearts our to them their trees. When we tap into each others hearts something amazing happens. It drives people crazy. I think it's what we live our lives for. What it is we feel connected too might vary but I think overall we're driven by our hearts. We're driven by this unknown force. But after all maybe I do really know what's behind all this. Maybe I do know where this force comes from. I guess it's why I believe what I believe. That there is something bigger than me in this life; and He has to be the source of this universal phenomenon. It only seems logical, when I look at the stories of that time He was here, on earth. He loved like know else ever has, it seems he had this force within him that was fully unleashed. The ability to truly love, to truly feel. Maybe it was the power behind all those miracles, all those powerful words that changed people's life.

Yeah, this isn't just some brain thing...it's God.
