I have been playing with the hearts lately, finding images to fill the cavity. My 2 year old son picked one up from the table, held the two parts in his hands and says, "owie". And I reply, "Yes, That is a kind of owie."
I wonder how much time is spent on the wrong pursuits because it is easier or feels better in the right now. Even the gut can fool. At times you must fight and kick and scratch and curse just to stay on the high ground.
