While making my Green Tea this morning, I realized that I assign dual explanations to most things in the world; both Scientific and Fantastic explanations. I thoroughly enjoy assigning my own explanations more than you can imagine, and although I appreciate the Science behind many things, as Coldplay once said, “Science and Progress don’t speak as loud as my Heart…….”
So, we might as well start there; our Heartbeat.
Scientifically, a heartbeat is the noise made after a flow of blood moves through the heart and valves shut. But I say; it is also the rhythm of our soul. Which would explain why, when around someone we really like, it can sometimes beat faster. Souls can exchange energy, which causes each soul’s rhythm, or Heartbeat, to increase.
This theory also explains True Laughter more clearly, because as the soul gets too excited or happy, it releases some of the rhythm in the form of laughter so that your heart doesn’t have to handle all the energy on its own. Moreover, if the laughter is caused by someone you are with, you can show them that they made your heart/soul so full of energy that you had to smile and laugh.
This brings us to Tears (not literally). A scientist would say tears are secretions of the glands that clean and lubricate the eyes. Sure, but much more than that, they are a symbol and reminder of our vastness. That’s why they are salty. To remind us that like the ocean, we have a depth and seemingly limitless horizon inside of us, and sometimes we need a release, happy or sad, and so we cry.
Let’s move to Nature; how about rainbows? A rainbow is the spectrum of light created when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth’s atmosphere. But I would say a Rainbow is a messenger. It reminds us that those beautiful colors are there all the time. We just can’t always see them. A rainbow’s purpose is to communicate that our vision is limited, and our world is so much more than we see.
Then there is the sky; the glorious sky. This non scientific explanation was influenced by Ben Harper and his song “Diamonds on the Inside.” I relate to what he is trying to say and I often think of those awesome people I know and love, and how much I appreciate their diamonds on the inside. I think that some of us are so diamond rich on the inside, that we have to let some of that richness out into the world again. The energy in the form of diamonds leaves us to go back into the sky; which clearly explains all the stars. Luminous balls of diamond plasma. And of course our Sun is the result of Jesus’ diamonds being let out, as he was the most diamond rich of us all, and that’s obviously why we call it the “Sun” (Son).
I could go on forever, so I will end with our lovely sky. Which quite possibly we will all end with one day when we have to give back all the diamonds we’ve earned and collected through the years. Make a big deposit when it’s Time….
