Balance Sheet of Being
Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 8:22AM
Sometimes it feels that
The Enormity of My Heart
Is not an Asset
But a Liability
That the Availability of My Emotions
Is not a Plus
But a Minus
That My Capacity to Feel
Is not a Pair of Wings
But a Ball and Chain
That my Intensity
Is not Attractive
But Frightening
That My Depth
Is not a Vast Stunning Ocean
But an Insignificant Puddle
That My Sensitivity
Is not a Beautiful Face
But A Gaping Wound
That My Passion
Is not a Giant Brilliant Flame
But a Smoldering Funeral Pyre
But then I remember
This is Who I Am
And How I choose to Experience Myself Is Up To Me

That is awesome,! Would make a great song:)
Hatred and anger are finite and will consume you. Love, on the other hand, is limitless. We should all shed the ball and chain, be unafraid, fill in the puddle, close the wound, and continue to fill the enormity of our hearts with truth and love.
You have done it again! profoundly expressed what it means to be fully human. I celebrate you muscleheart.
Deb, Glen, Mira.....My heart is touched by your comments. You encourage me to constantly go out on a limb. Because that's where the fruit is.
Love, Love, Love...

Beautiful to wake up to such a profound comment on the human condition...so much better to choose to see ourselves as the vast bodies we
truly are. Keep choosing light!!! Love you
Thank you Cheryl. I am constantly moving towards the light. And the brightness that is you remains a constant inspiration, a constant pull. towards enlightenment. I love you, dear sister. Throughout the vast, wondrous, beautiful ride of my life, you have been a constant source of power....
