what is heart?

heart is what choose call life energy. this idea exist in many places, each with different name. to best explain what mean, make sense also use different word for self.
heart flow through everything and everyone. even in that which die, little bits still remain. there is not remove heart, only for heart change shape and "host," in lack better word.

in some way, majority materials people work with come from earth - heart's source - even if that chain is long: plastic from oil from dinosaurs so very far in past.
everything on earth have heart. animals, plants, forces of nature. this heart can be basis for how spirits form: take some heart, some this or that, and new spirit emerge.

people also carry heart, of course. but more than just carry, we have ability shape. we can sit down and pour love into things we craft, we can hold childhood toys close, we can decorate and customise exactly how like.
in these acts and more, we pass on some heart. we bring... life. not movement, that need nervous system and muscle and all sorts, but life enough to have feeling and thought.

things that someone abandon also can gain heart, but with little bit different result. as nature try reclaim, that heart seep in and make something that very often feel angry or hurt.
if someone in tune with object feelings try rescue and fix up, they might feel how much hurt, angry that take so long for someone care, or otherwise.

object communication

each person who experience object life have, of course, different experience.
take this message as example: "leave me alone." someone could:

• hear as inner monologue, in different voice or not.
• just know those words, without hear at all.
• sudden feel dread that make want leave.
• see clear picture in mind that get up and leave.
• see frantic pictures in mind, like signs, arrows, and doors.

which language choose depend both on how that object comfortable and how that person best pick up.

what can have heart?

truly any object, if someone give proper attention and care.
to reuse scrap material in crafts. cherish clothes until wear too thin. put time and effort in fix what break. these all bring heart.

at core, objects deserve respect - even if think all this sound silly. we live in world where resources misuse, with disposable culture. this attitude that not worth fix things - and companies that try make this hard.
in world like this, become even more important fight against that culture where can - mend clothes, pass up gimmick items that will quickly gather dust, try make and find things that truly love.
