How to tune a heart.
The heart tunes when we begin letting go to what isn’t and start clinging to what actually is.
Fear isn’t much more than an accuser and a thief. Hence the constant trial and robbery we feel when we can’t let go. All the while, Love is the fuel and the engine, the river and the ocean, and the song and the dance of reality’s gorgeous storyline. Hence the cosmic connnection to all things when we’re dialed into and clinging to this Love.
The heart tunes with a surrender to the moment…
…and when the ego lays down…
…and when joy is the thread we choose to weave the blankets of our lives with.
Tune the heart.
Warm the soul.
Sing thy grace.
Your highest and best use is…
…to be a bridge.
You can be this through your eyes…Tell us what you see.
You can be this with your hands…Show us where the beauty is.
And you can be this by your words…Paint us a new world.
Help us get to the other side.
The side of possibility.
The side of wonder.
This side of Love.
There’s about 7.5 billion of us.
What if we all knew we were meant to be a bridge?
