"Our hearts do not need logic, they can love and forgive and accept that which our minds cannot comprehend. Hearts understand in ways minds cannot." Lois W.
My heart was broken, and my heart was gone. My heart felt like it was stomped on. So how could I read this, and write it down?
I once suffered from the 'paralysis of analysis' as my mind tried every which way to fix my situation. In fact my situation was so dire I was trying to 'force solutions' and fix everything else.
The heart is so forgiving- of me as much as all else... when all else fails the heart keeps on ticking over, providing life itself.
I learned to breath as well... to embrace life... to take up hope again...
...the heart responds with love... the old things, the bad things begin to fall away... ...

ooooo, ooooo, oooooo. Good one, David. I can so relate to so much you put here. I never could truly begin to heal until I got out of my head and into my heart and I could not do that alone. I had to have others around me could do that, too. If it hadn't been for them and my willingness to be open and honest with them, I wouldn't have been so broken that I could never have made it to this board at this time to read such a grand share. Thank you.
Thanks for posting this David. It is a beautiful thought and oh so true. I am reminded of the quote from William Shakespeare:
Go to your bosom; Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know.
I must also add that before program I did not have the courage, wisdom or tools to really go to my heart because it was covered with anger, resentment, self pity and fear. I needed this program to help me discard all the old painful dross that covered the truth within my heart and set me free.
