The Heart is cone-shaped, with its base positioned upwards and tapering down to the apex. An adult Heart has a mass of 250–350 grams.

The Heart is typically the size of a fist: 12 cm in length, 8 cm wide, and 6 cm in thickness.

The Heart is the first functional organ to develop and starts to beat and pump blood at about three weeks into embryogenesis.

This early start is crucial for subsequent embryonic and prenatal development.

The embryonic Heart begins beating at around 22 days after conception. It starts to beat at a rate near to the mother’s.

He deals the cards as a Meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn’t play for the money he wins
He doesn’t play for respect

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my Heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my Heart

And if I told you that I loved you
You’d maybe think there’s something wrong
I’m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one

Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my Heart
