The little puzzle -
Intertwined, related -
global karma.

It is not a small thing – this heart with the fortitude to go the distance.
How can the human heart contain a love for all of life?
When caged by ego there is limitation. Ego is the jailer of the soul.
Whether we recognize the connection or not we are all connected. However, ego sees the world in relation to it’s effect on ‘me’ only. Ego separates us from the recognition of the whole. The ego driven heart can not contain a love for all. Ego separates us from the recognition of self as soul.
Moving into the ‘WE’… into The Soul … We have a heart that can go the distance.
Ruminating and then …

.... making, making someday made.

We got this.

…. Here is a small portion of a longer poem I wrote a few years back suggestive of the path to recognition of moving into oneness with life….
From the poem                     

THE MOTHER TALKS TO HER CHILD ….


Puzzle pieces clicking into place.
It is almost time to fall.
Walk hard, walk gentle. . .
“Walk hard, walk gentle.
Then fall.
Do not ask for childish promises of safety.”
Shall I fall head first?
… Or maybe feet first?
Far better heart first

BE LOVE

Bathed in the love
Not just forgetting past hurts
-having no import.

Gifted to be in a space where all is LOVE.
At any moment you can choose to turn to this love. Those you think have wronged you – at any moment you can choose to turn to wholeness – to holiness. Another name for this turning is: forgiveness. The surprise is we are not just setting ‘the other’ free – we are setting ourselves free also.
There is a love that transends our limited human experience.
We have chosen those we walk with here - just so we can create the opportunities where WE can melt into This Love. This ‘burning off of karma’ concept brings with it the idea that suffering is a necessary component for our unfolding into beauty and balance. This is not quite accurate. At any time we can choose the easy way. We just uncross our arms – which have been covering our hearts – allow the heart full sway.
Do not wait for the other to take the first step. You are stronger than you think. With fortitude of good heart, accept and be love.
