what a gentle place the world would be

Much insight here, very much. I won't forget the cigar and that squint. Very graphic. Mind meaning to guard heart, heart needing to be vulnerable. The mind becomes an inquisitor, makes the heart cringe and confess. The heart's crime is to love when there is no apparent gain.

It's about gain! What is there to gain or, for that matter, to lose? The mind writes profit and loss statements. True, I can even watch it do that if I care to, eyes squinting, puffing on its cigar. There's an inquisitor and Scrooge inside, who would have thought!

I may have to read this again.
