I feel like the heaviness in my heart, not only reminds me that to live is to experience all in our bodily forms,.but asks of me to exist in a deeper place, where I see that I have a choice about how I can respond to you (other). I want to choose compassion. I have less tolerance for drama. Less tolerance for self doubt. The heart is strong. Is it broken or open? I must believe the latter, and not run like a flock of startled butterflies, flying, fleeing, without a place to land.Rachana Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14049669262584343331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984330758590198929.post-91727351124532639122013-01-10T09:47:49.517-08:002013-01-10T09:47:49.517-08:00Joanne, I read and re-read this.

And yes, grief demands or somehow makes us be true to ourselves. <br /><br />After 5 1/2 years I've lost some of that. And while I do not want those early days of grief that rendered me so broken and torn, I do sometimes miss the honesty to myself that was present. The layers of grime were stripped away. Some days I feel coated in the grime of life again. <br /><br />Grief is beautiful in it's ability to bring honesty to our lives. it hurts. Oh it hurts. But as you said the hurt, the pain, the stripping away of all else teaches us to live.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03740847681453723883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984330758590198929.post-64906529632735203482013-01-06T08:19:59.939-08:002013-01-06T08:19:59.939-08:00Thank you, Joanne.
