“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
--The Little Prince.
In my heart of hearts, I know that the keys to living include love, compassion, and spirituality. I feel that I am not as successful as I would like to be expressing love, compassion, and spirituality. I am ashamed to admit that there have been times in my life where I have behaved in a shallow manner, and rejected being freinds with people based on how they look. There have been times in my life where I have sat in unforgiving judgement over an individual’s shortcomings.
I have forgotten how to see things with my heart. I can’t pinpoint exactly when I stopped using my heart as the compass for the choices that I make in life. Maybe it began at puberty. May be it began when I was born, I do not know.
I do know that there is an emptiness in my heart, an emptiness in my soul that I can no longer live with. I feel lost and confused because I do not know where my heart is-- I do not know what is essential.
There is good news, however, I am in a position of power. Power to discover what my heart is really made of. Power to be spiritual and to be compassionate. Power to be loving.
