The mind moves like a pencil.
The heart moves like a brush.
While the mind can draw
exquisite prints, the heart
with its deep bright colors
will ignore the lines.
If you only follow your mind,
you will never go outside the lines.
If you only follow your heart,
what you touch will never
resemble anything.
We must be
a student of both.
For the mind can build
itself a home, but only
the heart can live in it.
