Always Coming Home To The Heart / Non-Dominant Hand

Non-Dominant Hand Tiny Mandala #22 of 50

心 xīn — heart

The only Chinese character that I know by heart is the character for heart.

The Heart (心, pinyin: xīn) is one of the zàng organs stipulated by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is a functionally defined entity and not equivalent to the pericardium or the anatomical organ of the same name. (Click to see Wiki article)

(A poem written more than 50 years ago from the first version of my self-published book of art work and poetry — 2008)
