It might be nice, if only for historical reference.

How do we choose that which we love, assuming we do?
And in that regard, can the heart do battle with the mind and vice-versa?

Too many implied assumptions there for me. We'll spend months just defining
terms.

Well, the water's pretty warm... Are you just going to stand there on
the wharf then?

...If my heart spontaneously loves something or someone, I imagine it
can instruct my mind something about it, and then vice-versa; an
inner-dialogue.

I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival..."

Lenny's always been a Romantic. I liked his stuff back in my teens, and I
still admire him, but he doesn't speak to this practical middle-aged
