The Heart of a Human
The Heart of a Human
The Heart pumps. The Heart is sustained by oxygenated blood. It's rhythm is generally as regular as clockwork. Fear and Excitement make it beat harder. Rest and Peace make the heart beat slower. When we are born it begins to beat on its own. When we die, the heart stops. No one knows exactly why.
The heart is an intricate organ, that without it, nothing would work in our body. And as in life, I believe, it is an important metaphor.
Without spiritual heart: compassion, love, joy for living, desire for truth, verve to share our gifts, we truly have nothing. We might as well be dead. Our humanness would be worthless.
The heart of a human is more than the ticking of an innocuous time bomb that may or may not stop at any time. The heart beats to the proud rhythm of Spirit's love. This cadence is so inviting it draws the world in to dance with us--to create good with us--to live in harmony with us.
Heart energy is forgiveness and love in many spiritual practices. We are taught that when we don't forgive it doesn't effect the other person, it makes our own heart lose vital energy. Because our heart is made to love. It beats in the rhythm of Spirit smiling.
"Today I touch my heart and feel the golden embers of love burning in my soul. Its heat not only warms me, but brings compassion and great joy to all around me. I know I am made of love, because my heart beats to the rhythm of God!."
