I recorded this this morning, remembering my little companion, everything he had experienced and what he still had to experience. This is what it feels like to be heartbroken, to feel like your heart wants to leave your body while you fantasize about how this will stop. Many people believe that the heart has nothing to do with love and feelings, but this shows that yes, it has much more than that. The acceleration and pang of pain when receiving the worst news that someone can receive, having to say goodbye to the most precious being in the world, among other things.😪 It seemed good to me to transform this pain into something good, something that another person can see beyond the loss, the importance of heartbeats even if sometimes we wish they would end.
A requested file here: my visible heartbeat as I recover from exercise while lying on my left. How does it sound? I’d love to read your comments, as always!
My first attempt at this had a few audio issues (some crackling, static, and the like): my heartbeat’s still audible, but I wanted to get a clearer recording. Let me know if you’d be interested in seeing it anyway!
