The Heart's Gate

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     During the first part of the summer break I engaged in a reflective practice, in the form of an art journal. The creations stemmed away from the worldly goals or the outer self, to focus within. To once again ponder upon what we call life, our existence. As I wrap up these thoughts I'm grateful that I've had this chance, also what I call a luxury. The very thinking of the meaning of life reminded me about the importance of the heart, mind, vulnerability, choices, and being in spaces where you have to reach outside of your comfort zone. Truly what we think, how we think, and what we place emphasis upon is significant. Inner revelations eventually germinate from the heart, working together with the mind to reveal themselves. The heart is the gateway. Through this gate we are either led to inner tranquility, serenity, peace; or oppositional forces such as: turmoil, anguish, despair, and even inner decay. 

     When we allow the self to grow from our inner world we flourish in the outer world, or outer being. When we neglect the self, not only do we experience a sense of emptiness, we slowly begin to loose the gifts that are derived from within. Both the +/- forces from within are needed, it is how we come to understand what works best for us, and what we need to improve upon. 

While our worldly possessions give us a sense of instant happiness and satisfaction, the inner self is pleased, flourishes, germinates, grows, when the interior is filled; through the gateway of the heart.

My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :)
