The Symphony of the Heart



Stethoscope at heart.
The heart beats with a rhythm.
Like the Universe.

About this poem

In Star Wars the Heart of the Universe is a Force-imbued gem, created and fashioned by Jedi Master Jaled Dui during the epoch of the Galactic Republic. Within our innermost being there dwells a Galactic Universe in tempo with the universe of Space and Time. Some refer to this personal inner universe as The Kingdom of the Heart, a cardiac chakra center, with four chambers, residing in a Fourth Dimension, reflecting the totality of our being; a yin-yang chambered heart, a heart possessed with dualities, symbolizing love and hatred, heat and frigidity, opening and closure, soft and hard, compassion and indifference, concord and discord, euphony and cacophony. Our Four-chambered heart has its own Fourth Dimension reality, not postulated, but attested as a spatial dimension beyond determined length, area, and volume, circulating in synchronicity with its mirrored image of the universe. The heart, our heart, is a geometric-mathematical wonder, possessed with its own altitude, latitude and longitude— all within the atrial chambers of the heart, its ventricles as tributaries, pumping a melodious symphony in tempo with the universe of Space and Time.
