Balance Sheet of Being

Sometimes it feels that

The Enormity of My Heart
Is not an Asset
But a Liability

That the Availability of My Emotions
Is not a Plus
But a Minus

That My Capacity to Feel
Is not a Pair of Wings
But a Ball and Chain

That my Intensity
Is not Attractive
But Frightening

That My Depth
Is not a Vast Stunning Ocean
But an Insignificant Puddle

That My Sensitivity
Is not a Beautiful Face
But A Gaping Wound

That My Passion
Is not a Giant Brilliant Flame
But a Smoldering Funeral Pyre

But then I remember

This is Who I Am

And How I choose to Experience Myself Is Up To Me

That is awesome,! Would make a great song:)

Hatred and anger are finite and will consume you. Love, on the other hand, is limitless. We should all shed the ball and chain, be unafraid, fill in the puddle, close the wound, and continue to fill the enormity of our hearts with truth and love.

Deb, Glen, Mira.....My heart is touched by your comments. You encourage me to constantly go out on a limb. Because that's where the fruit is.
Love, Love, Love...

Beautiful to wake up to such a profound comment on the human condition...so much better to choose to see ourselves as the vast bodies we
truly are. Keep choosing light!!! Love you
