The Broken Heart
The heart has no choice but to break into love, into deeper awareness, into grace and into the peace of God. So much has been written and said about the sorrow our world is walking through. We have been launched into a new timeline. Shoved into watching people die, lose their livelihoods and sacrifice into unbelievable acts of courage. Our cries have a collective mourning, sorrow and fear. Our days long for laughter and the resetting into normal. We fall asleep with our prayers. We awake into the same damn day. Our hearts are broken. Today, allow that broken heart the ability to cry and mourn. Hold your sadness plainly. Try not to ignore. Try not to pin your emotions behind “doing” and simply allow the grief. The heart must break. It will break. I could give you all kinds of assurances that God will make you feel good or change all this, but that's all bullshit. Our work right now is to lean into the heartbreak and let the pieces fall deep into the deep grace of the Divine. We can feel better tomorrow.
