Today I realized I will never win chess if I play with heart. A lot of the number stuff is also, very much the mind. What am I missing out on? It may be time to go mind? Will others be as I am? But when thinking with the heart, I find the words, instead of the numbers. Tell me some things you may have thought about by reading this. No repeating things back to me.

Re: Can a Clairvoyant afford to mock the heart?
Sat, May 30, 2009 - 7:57 AMI know people who play to win the game...
And people who play to be together and enjoy...
I prefer the latter...
I always wondered...
What is I take with me, and what is it I leave behind...
I build my own island in the sun so to speak..
And I invite my loved ones to it...
Still...
I work with the heart and with the mind...
The instinct and the rational..
Dionysos and Apollo..
I notice when I wonder to much about these things, the passion fades..
To simply let go and act out on heart and mind gives more way to a sense of wellbeing..
I say... why limit yourself.. do what you wanna do.. with heart and mind...

Re: Can a Clairvoyant afford to mock the heart?
Sat, May 30, 2009 - 8:31 AMUm. Chess is a head game ~ in more ways than one. You can have a heart and still play it, but it is not meant to be played with the heart. If you want to play with the heart, may I suggest Hearts? Or Twister might be more, er, likely to lead to the heart. <wink> -

Sat, May 30, 2009 - 10:45 AMBut what of the saying, "no man is an island"? I sought the person who was an island and when I found her, I could breathe easy. -

Sat, May 30, 2009 - 10:54 AMWell good for you! In chess, though, it is usually a battle between two islands ~ chess is essentially a war game, after all. If you are looking for love, chess is not the game.

Sat, May 30, 2009 - 11:08 AM"No man is an island.."
I don't know this saying... But I use island as a metaphore for an own environment and set of morals, or lack of..
You create a personal space from which you operate at best..
In how many metaphores are we speaking here...
Pick a synonym for life wisely.. It's all around and cannot be captured in a word..
Some call it a game.. but a game of chess..?
You know your heart, you know your mind...
What was the question again..? -

Re: Can a Clairvoyant afford to mock the heart?
Sat, May 30, 2009 - 11:13 AM"No man is an island" is a reference to a meditation by the English poet John Donne.
The quote is:
""All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." -

Sat, May 30, 2009 - 11:30 AMWell.. the artist was commited to humankind..
As are we all.. not..?
I interpret it as in.. keep an open eye and an open heart to other people.. that's it..
WIllingness to learn from your fellow humans... From nature also..
No man is an island...
We are all one..one big world..
Still... when you play a game... it's different...
where lies the ambition...In this time of individualism.
On an even smaller scale.. hide and seek.. another game..
In what joy does "one" exhalt.. -

Tue, June 9, 2009 - 8:13 AMwhen i read your post osteo, i thought quite similarly to miss hermit..
There is no love in war.. maybe misplaced ideals but certainly no love...
We are all one.. treat every person that you encounter in precisely the same way in which you would like to be treated....
Unfortunately, the heart, (being a muscle) has muscle memory and will store the hurt that it has experienced for longer than what is sometimes appropriate.
Try at all costs to not inflict pain on others, yes, strategy is appropriate, but not strong arm tactics or deception.

Sat, June 20, 2009 - 3:14 PMI think a clairvoyant can afford to mock the heart. Sometimes it appears to be the only way to ease the pain. -

Re: Can a Clairvoyant afford to mock the heart?
Thu, June 25, 2009 - 1:32 PMI do sudoku by myself as I am good at such things and thus am not riskign competition. When we play card games at the school where I substitute .. with young kids it is all playign with heart.. so much fun.. the kids make up their own rules at 4, 5, and 6.. somewhere after that mor eaccurate scorekeeping and adherenc eto rules comes in.
To use heart in games is to win.
