Heart blessing

Journal entry: January 7, 2006

Life in a flurry passes along... lately it seems as if it is a void that follows a huge burst of light. The back end of a shockwave, as it were. I have experiences that shake my being and stand outside of anything the mind can touch. It is a language of the heart that is opening up in me... intermittently choking me to tears over the acts and sufferings of humanity. To explore what this language is to me, to my life, is my purpose and joy--cultivating the necessary manner of indifference is my challenge. Each experience each remembrance or echo of the experience--it shakes another brick loose in the tower of my religious tradition... of most every religious tradition. No institution or church adequately expresses what the heart knows--only an individual can do that.


Postscript:

Less than one week later, I helped a woman who was dear to me take her last breath.


Life and Love continued on.
