Only Our Heart

 

The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. ~ Blaise Pascal

Our eyes see, but only our heart looks through things to their meaning. Our nose registers scents, but only our heart will track like a hound its ethereal quarry. Our tongue tastes, but only a heart can feast. Skin touches skin, but being in touch is a matter of heart. Our ears hear, but only a listening heart understands.

~ Br. David Steindl-Rast, A Listening Heart
