Very Old Friends

 

"Your heart and my heart are very, very old friends."

Hafez

As we grow into our lovely selves, hearts need less protection. We do not experience less heart ache, but the depth of the lessons impact us on cross sectional levels. It ceases to be about criticism and judgment, but rather about what is to be learned. With opened hearts, we are less likely to be triggered by reactions from dysfunctional patterns.

When two hearts come together with eyes of love, there is hope for peaceful existence. There is a joint effort to unfold measures that are beneficial for both individuals. The "I" becomes "we" which resonates out into the greater landscape of life. When each heart truly sees the other, individual respect leads to deeper connections.

The Divine light that pulses in the heart, recognizes the Divine light in the hearts of others. Whether friend or foe, respect must override the impulse of destruction. If the discord cannot be resolved, then let go and walk away without harm. Two hearts, created by the same God, may have been friends in previous lifetimes, so do not raise the sword.
