Conditions of the Heart
is a collection of self-love poetry that inspires the reader to love, embrace, nurture, and focus on themselves as they do others. Poetry is life, and Blount reveals the role of the heart in a unique way. She delivers a powerful message that allows you to stop and listen to your heart by living well and removing the negative from your life and live it according to your design. Conditions of the Heart is like receiving a valentine three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
Conditions of the Heart
Everybody has a heart and it thumps one beat at a time. There are many degrees of love, some can cause hearts interruoted, but belive me when I say hearts don't lie. Just look at the blueprint of a heart and follow the recipes for a healthy heart. You can jumpstart your passion because pain doesn't live in the heart. Listen with your mind, body and soul and recognize sometimes giving love is like space for rent. Your heart will know when it's time to make a union, and no matter what anyone tells you, physically hearts don't break, but it may feel like it. You can have blocked arteries and, God forbid, a cardiac arrest from continuing bad habits and keeping your dreams and purpose locked down like a heart on the down low. Remeber, love the emotion you should give to you as you do others, because if you don't you will show no signs of life. You are responsible for you, you don't have to carry a heavy heart, just keep pumping love. We all have conditions of the heart.
