Fear Feels the Heart Break. Love Feels the Heart Beat.
During a time when I was confronted with a lot of fear, I created a series of hand motion prayers (for my own use) to move from fear to Love.
Beloved,
Fear loves a broken heart.
Fear loves the justification for closing Itself off from any kind of loving connection. Fear can then build walls. Harden up. Protect Itself from any kind of new venture. A broken heart is all Fear needs to win the argument that safety is found in a life of solitude.
Until you feel that beating heart in you.
Question:
Who gave you your heart?
Did you choose it?
Are you in charge of keeping it going?
Do you realize your whole existence is
maintained by something you’re not in charge of?
Love feels the heart beat because Love is inviting us into the reality that nothing can truly break us from that beat.... meaning we’re still here and we still have something to give.
Fear argues that heart break means you’re over.
Love whispers to you that you’re still here.
The beat keeps going.
There is more ahead.
You’re never over.
Don’t get me wrong. A myriad of songs have been written about the experience of heart break. But they were all written by the heartbeat of women and men who found themselves on the other side of their heart break. They weren’t over. In fact, it became the way in which they connected to others again.
The heartbeat they weren’t in charge of let them know this.
