The title and concept of 'The Pen Of The Heart' was drawn from a thoughtful quotation by Bahya Ibn Paquda, an 11th century Jewish rabbi and philosopher from Zaragozza, Spain. Ibn Paquda is best known for his treatise that established the first Jewish system of ethics called 'Guide to the Duties of the Heart'. Though my interpretation appears somewhat literal, the blank pages in the writer's journal are meant to convey that despite our best intentions, our utterances rarely match the subtle passions in our hearts.
