The Dark Heart

"Wherever you go, go with all your heart."

Confucius 

Advice surrounds me, gathered from mentors, reading material, prayer, and meditation. For quite some time, I have been refurbishing my heart. I have used healing light, music, silence and quiet footing on isolated pathways. I blend all of this energy into an invisible potion hoping it will heal my scars and alleviate my tears.

There is a belief of mine, that we are all loving and kind. Integrity is vitally important for me, and I falsely assume everyone is a truth teller. I find myself motivated by curiosity into diverse existences where I choose to bring compassion for those traveling with sorrow. I do not realize I am seeing their 'higher self' and not the person damaged by pain.

Moving forward, I choose a life of love. I will try to be more aware of deception, but there is beauty in every remarkable scene. My vision has cleared, my path rerouted, and my light is brighter than ever. With every breath I am grateful for the past, the present, and for awaits ahead. I am safe and strong, and no one else gets to be me.
