I woke up one day realizing that
as others were educating the mind
I was going through the initiation of the heart.
Of course the heart has mindfulness.
It even thinks.
But with different words and rhythms
and beats.
The life of the heart
is quiet, yet surely present
each and every day.
It has the nature of song and the language of poetry,
well thought out and beautifully present.
There is a wisdom deep within its interiors
that opens into the environments of the soul
which, of itself, is always questioned
in existence and purpose.
Yet, it is the setting for the wellsprings of life and living
to flow out of, exist from, and live within.
The education of this heart and the awakening to this environment of soul
beckons in our time to be seen and heard and cultivated,
like a garden of roses.
To learn how to bring love into the world,
into a held environment is essential for our time.
The heart has strength and births love.
It is not weak.
The soul has wisdom and living environments.
It is not empty.
The art of living this wisdom and birthing love into the world
is unseen, yet necessary, for proliferation
of that which is true, good and beautiful.
It is essential
for all that holds wonder, quickening and embellishing warmth.
The realms of the heart and soul
can no longer be written off to the fanciful and thoughtless.
For it has ripened and matured through time,
like a good wine
yet has the freshness of a spring’s water.
Love and Wisdom.
a quintessential relationship
of heart and soul
labouring, crafting, artistically creating and birthing
that which is new and vital to sustaining life on Earth and
surviving the differences and the challenges
in profound dignity
and eloquent beauty.
