Giraffe ♥s can weigh as much as 22 pounds and be 2 feet in length. Amazing.
Imagine if your heart was that big. That wide. That voluminous. Enough to power a 2,600 pound body.
Or wonder, perhaps, what it would be like if we lived as though our hearts were enormous. Wide open. Red and sweet like velvet cake. Warm and generous like a smile. Carrying prana throughout our bodies; healing old wounds, vessels of love blossoming. In the flow.
May your heart be like that of a giraffe. ♥
If only we all had giraffe-like hearts
How happy we would be
We'd frolick and laze about and run like the wind
And eat our dinner from the trees
If only we all had giraffe-like hearts
We'd hear their thumpity-thump miles away
We'd have more room for celebrity crushes
And with our loooong legs, try not to sway...
:)

I wonder why this is such a hard concept for some. Sounds simple to me.

awwwww... I'm feelin' warm and fuzzy all over now. I sometimes pretend I'm a giraffe because I want to be tall like a giraffe, but now I have something more to be like a giraffe! My new favorite animal!
