The midst of your heart can be a pretty pure place to go. I used to believe it had been a place of intense confusion and where the past lived, but I have come to find that it's most certainly a place of honest purity.
These thoughts and emotions that I feel inside have been unfortunately claimed by others to be intense and for some unknown reason I have experienced some kind of negativity with this word. Maybe it's the way that I am taking it? Perhaps it's the way that I translate that word? Nonetheless, I am starting to find that this emotional intensity about life is essentially pure simplicity manifesting itself.
I am hooking up and linking into the rawness of some of these emotions that I haven't fully experienced before. Maybe that's the idea right there - fully experiencing emotions.
When we shut ourselves off from experiencing bad feelings we also shut ourselves off from experiencing the wide array of positive ones too. The depths of your heart can be a place of safety where you can go to comprehend the truths about yourself instead of a place that you must be scared of. In this place, there exist lessons of love and eagerness. Why would you not want to go there?
I suspect we are scared of this place because we have experienced how wild and intense some of these feelings we pass through are and that shocks the hell out of us. For who knows what reason, we are taught to keep a lid on ourselves and not stray too far outside the middle because that's the secure place to play. No, I'd rather climb perilous trees and travel into unknown lands than play it safe.
That game is not for me...the playing it safe game in life.
The deepest part of your heart can become a place you go to understand the intricacies and conundrums of this life. There are so very many things that we don't understand about what is going on in this world because we can't see them. Sometimes, you have to run on true faith. You've got to be willing to put your feet forward, one after the next right into the dense thick fog and function on that blind faith. Will it be scary? You can bet your money on it. Will it be worth it? Oh completely. Time and again you have to travel into your heart to find your true self and start to function in a way that is truly connected and present with the world. If you can try that, there is no cap on what you may become.
So what will it be today?
