Noticing contraction of thinking and feeling.
Perhaps an error. A fault to be corrected.
Heart and mind tight and in a furious fight.
It is astonishing how the heart hardens when there is perceived offense by ‘others’.
The mind can then justify self-righteousness and self-created division and separation.
Standing at ground zero, a place of neutrality opens inner space to see the siege of the ego. To innerstand the ugly cellars contained within the heart broadcasting dissent and deception.
At least for today, I will soften the heart.
Nourish the neglected.
Feed the frenzy of self-inflicted arrows with spearheads of compassion and darts of kindness.
May compassion rain upon me
Crowning body, speech, and mind.
May trauma of the past cease to terrorize the present.
May the corona reign supreme in truth, wisdom, and open-hearted happiness.
