With each passing day, as I look inward and as I take in what is going on with the world outside, my heart opens. And the more it opens the more I understand why I have kept it shut for so long. The more my heart opens, the more I understand why the world has closed its heart.
I find it harder and harder to criticize the world from a place of anger or disappointment. The screwed up world and the screwed up self are not only reflections of each other, they are one in the same. I am the suffering and the beauty and everything in between - not as some new philosophy but as a felt experience, moment by moment. And there are moments when the sadness of this place is overwhelming. And there are moments of such calm, such peace, such bliss beyond all understanding. These moments, they pass by like clouds. But the sky remains.

If you love the world, it will break your heart. And if you don't love the world, it will break your heart.

Deep inside of you is a place where no sane person would go. But once visited, it is clear that to have ever avoided it, in the first place, was the true insanity. This world will take you for everything you’ve got. You won’t get out alive. You will be left with nothing. And in each glimpse, each taste I get of this nothingness, I find what is left. I will meet you there. Peace.
ॐ
