The Heart's Refinery

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.

     The truth is that I was taking the time to reflect upon this idea of worry or anxiety. We all come across these points of emotion within our life, however the level of this emotion will vary from human to human, depending upon the situation or circumstances, or life experiences. But what is common for all of us is this fight to survive. We could take the example of the death of a loved one, or a family member. When this happens, we as human beings want the hurt, the pain to go away. We fight with this, because we don't want to feel this pain. From initial shocks, to denial, pain, and then finally acceptance, to coping. We fight with that which we don't want, or that which is hurting. We can think of tribal ages, where tribes would gather to defend and protect their people. As societies have evolved, we have found ways of coping, but what I don't think will ever change is the reactionary processes, that are rooted in our human instinct to survive. Sometimes we all act, behave, think in a way that will be hurtful to others, the people around us, those who love us might not understand our responses, because we ourselves are fighting. It is easy to forget that we all have this intense desire, craving to be loved, even when the fight / flight reactionary processes are taking place. 

     This is where we have to remind ourselves of gentleness, vulnerability, and peel away the hardened edges of the heart, that are shielding us, to find the purity of the heart, our human essence. We have to open the heart to love, at the level of understanding, even if it hurts. We want to survive through our losses, and gains, no one person, or one nations people are better than others. Let us peel away the hard edges of the heart, and remind ourselves that we all have this yearning and longing to be loved. No one has the right to trespass upon a wound​, and no one has the right to exploit or manipulate a wound. 

Dedication: The words of this being are dedicated to all the innocent lives that have been lost in Egypt, with a death toll of now 305. Let us heal, and peel away the hard edges of the heart. One nations people are better than other nations people.
