The heart is a muscle that pumps blood all over the body. The blood passes through the veins and the arteries. The blood gives the body the much-needed oxygen and nutrients. About 2,000 gallons of blood is pumped throughout the body every day. The blood vessels, if linked together, are more than 60,000 miles long and this can go around the world twice.

On one corner of my dresser sits a smiling toy clown on a tiny unicycle. The clown's short yellow hair, made of yarn, covers its ears but is parted above the eyes. The blue eyes are outlined in black with thin, dark lashes flowing from the brows. It has cherry-red cheeks, nose, and lips, and its broad grin disappears into the wide, white ruffle around its neck. The clown wears a fluffy, two-tone nylon costume.

My most valuable possession is an old, slightly warped blond guitar―the first instrument I taught myself how to play. It's nothing fancy, just a Madeira folk guitar, all scuffed and scratched and fingerprinted. At the top is a bramble of copper-wound strings, each one hooked through the eye of a silver tuning key. The strings are stretched down a long, slim neck, its frets tarnished, the wood worn by years of fingers pressing chords and picking notes.
