Here in the shadow

Loving all that is broken

The Sun always shines

~j

can we be spacious enough within our hearts to love what is broken – within us, within others, within the world, within this moment?

i believe so.

the sun still shines. it the light of the sun that allows us to see that there is a shadow, that there is brokenness calling for our healing, for our love. we can be grateful for this and for the opportunity to love.

it is love, after all, that will heal and transform our own wounds. and it is love that will engender empathy and motivate the compassion we need to heal the suffering of others and a world in need.

and where is that love found?

in our hearts – yours and mine.

we can offer our broken hearts, with all the love pouring out, to ourselves and a suffering world.
