HEART: Boom boom. Boom boom. Boom boom.
SOUL: I am sensing something is up with you, Heart. BRAIN: Affirmative. Beat is up on my radar as well. HEART: You are correct, you too... I am, boom boom, boom boom, excuse me, about to something new. Something new. Something... unknown. Something foreign, raw, scary. Boom boom. Boom boom. Something I am a virgin in. I am a virgin of. Something virginal. Boom boom. Boom boom... SOUL: 'Beginner's mind.' BRAIN: First day in school! HEART: Yes, sort of. Like that. Like a job interview. Or the first time having sex. Or the first time eating something new. First time doing... something. Anything. BRAIN: Studies have shown higher rates of palpitations in monumental events. The nervous system is doing its job. SOUL: 'It's normal' Brain means to say... but then again what's NORMAL? HEART: Boom boom. Boom boom. Normal, sure. Maybe... but - boom boom - how do I make it STOP? I am so nervous I may just pop out BOOM BOOM and EXPLODE!!! SOUL: Do you know 'nervous' and 'excited' are actually the same thing? They're both just energy. BRAIN: That is a valid point, though I would phrase the hypothesis differently. HEART: Oh. huh. So I could just be... excited then? Boom boom? SOUL: Excited, nervous, who cares? They're all the same! You are BEATING and alive and that's they only thing that we all care about! BRAIN: On that we agree. HEART: Well when you two agree, I... find myself suddenly... more calm. Boom. more relaxed. Boom. Grounded, ready, focused to tackle that new something with all my might!
