The heart does not write; it does not sit before paper, with pen in hand, or keyboard with fingers poised over fading letters. The heart speaks, often in a rapid, unexpected torrent. It is moved, and it moves; it brings forth angst, anguish, betrayal, denial, and triumphs. It sings of dances seen over and over again, while still remaining secret. It gushes rather than plods.
