The deeper and deeper
Into the moment you get
The more de-personified
Your awareness grows
Almost disembodied
As if it had transcended
The bicameral mind
And now lodged itself
In a third hemisphere yet
Unnamed and unflagged
But unflagging in its
Determination to maintain
A peaceful disposition
This is what
It means to
Think with
Your heart
Instead of
Your brain

With this poem I am pleased to announce the introduction of a new hashtag into my vernacular. The hashtag is #心心. It is the first time I have used a hashtag composed of a Chinese character - 心 - which is the Chinese word for heart. A secondary meaning is to think or feel. It is one of the distinguishing features of the Chinese language, which is central to the Daoist and Chan Buddhist traditions, that you associate thinking with your heart. Thus this hashtag literally translated into English means: to think with your heart - #心心. Use it well and wisely!
