Speaking from your heart

Our generation is such that we never talk from our heart, we are superflous people hiding our emotions behind a curtain of big "hi" s and hugs while inisde we are thinking about something not paticularly nasty but still, the warmth in the greeting is only in the mouth. Many i know measure what they say before saying it and its not just a gaurded tounge we measure how much something can hurt someone before we say it. The classic "bitchiness" of a person, that forked tounge behind pearly white teeth.

We can be free in only our relationships saying whatever we want because we can take the love of our life for granted to an extent ofcourse. Weary of what we say to others, even the most innocent of statements, lest they be misconstrued for something damaging to the all important reputation. When you talk to a person, look at their eyes, the windows to the soul. Its when the eyes crincle up with laughter at a joke of yours, moisten up at some hurt you feel, widen at some shock you convey, that you know the heart is listening to your heart.

But how do you tell if a person is talking to you from the portico of their "house" or from where the hearth is. I wouldn't really know. Sometimes the most gaurded person appears to be communing with you at a level beyond what the toungue can afford. And sometimes the voice from the soul is resounding through a gaurded posterior. Its upto your better judgement so see where lie the realities and where lie the lies. I know in my relationship i can say whatever i want, i can speak my heart, soul and mind be it harsh words for which later i can "do penanance" and being a person who is not gaurded or fake i know that all my friendships are at a level where i make "my person" most comfortable, able to speak from the heart. This bulit in nature is sometimes easy to run all over, and its happened people have walked all over me. Once a friend asked me..."danny are'nt you afraid of being so free, and talking what comes to your mind?" this is what i told her and this is what i tell everyone; You only have one life to live, hiding behind an array of walls and fences will only prevent people from knowing and falling in love with the true you, and when death closes the heart it will be words that dont even apply to you that will be spoken over your grave. (When i die i want people to remeber the soul that spoke from within this body of dust, and on its returning to the earth i want only the voice of that heart to beat in the minds of those who succeed me) Live the person you are, who knows you just might make an everlasting mark on some hearts rather than burning an impression of just two or three seasons on everyone.
