Moving from the Heart
How could anyone overemphasize the significance and beauty of love? Love makes life worth living. Love dissolves each paradox. Love resolves each conflict. Love loves love.
In love, we are free to agree or disagree without losing respect for each other. In love, we are free to be who we truly are as we allow others to do the same. In love’s great embrace, our mind is emptied and we are at peace.
When my heart is open, a deep stillness takes over my being even when I might look very active on the outside. Moving from the heart feels natural and ease-y.
When my heart is closed, everything feels meaningless and nothing can make me happy. The fearful, guarded heart knows no peace and when the heart is shut, the mind knows no rest and gets lost in its own drama.
Love reveals beauty even during the most difficult situations. When the heart is open, we might be aching tremendously, yet we stay strong. The tender strength of the deep-feeling heart brings joy even in the midst of profound grief and loss.
Moving from the heart is a life-long apprenticeship to what matters most.
Softening, deepening, opening into Life is necessary for a beautiful, truly fulfilling life. After all, the sensitivity and vulnerability of the heart is what makes us human. May we come out of hiding and allow our hearts to break open.
What breaks is not the heart itself, but only its solidified armouring. What melts away is our suffering.
Love’s domain is the unknown. The heart’s spontaneous and free-flowing intelligence cannot be boxed in and neatly labeled as being this way or that way. At times soft and at times fierce, the heart does not follow a rigidly defined recipe for “proper” conduct.
Giving ourselves to Love is perhaps the greatest adventure any of us could ask for. Needing no guarantees, the empowered yet tender heart leaps forward with faith. The open-eyed love we find ourselves experiencing sees everything the way it is including the good, the bad, and the ugly - and loves anyway!
Speaking up when necessary and advocating for what matters comes naturally to the empowered heart. Protecting what is vulnerable and taking strong action and accepting everything as it is are not contradictions for awake love.
