Sparks Two

How cold and perfunctory everything seems outside the soft glow of the Heart.

God's heart is not touched by our fancy robes of arrogance. God's heart loves the dress, the overcoat of humility.

The mind is unruly and loves to roam. Put it on a leash. Rein it in so you can actually see what it's up to.

You are the master and the master comforter. Where else can this body-mind content rest, only in You. There is no other resting ground around.

There is nothing out there for you in the external world. Nothing. Just crumbs. Crumbs of approval.

Give the mind permission to think whatever it thinks. It's going to do that anyways. Don't recoil from the harsh thoughts. See them and know they arise from a hurting place, from a hurting one. This one needs love.

Be tender with your sweet body, this body that bears so much for you. It shelters all the pain and discomfort of a separated being and it is your precious vehicle as you journey to freedom.

We were taught to trust so few of our natural movements. Only what was acceptable in our family and environment.

The unworthiness and inferiority we feel at times is just too painful to hang out with so the mind desperately tries to find places where you are 'better than' the ones you feel 'less than'. Come back. Don't listen to the mind as it tries to resurrect a 'better than'. This stuff goes nowhere. Come back to the pain in the body, to the distressed one and ask for Love to pour through into this one.
