All that matters
The heart seeks closure; a point when the search is over, the one sought found. Yet the torture is that it is never fulfilled, though many come into our lives, friends deeply loved and trusted, life long partners in marriages rocky, hard, yet also filled with mutual love and connectedness; still the heart senses to it’s sorrow, the more one loves, often the deepe the inner longing, the deep thirst for union still sought, lost in an inner desert of desire.
People surround us, each beautiful in their own way. Smiles, humor, gentleness, the ability to love and hate, good and bad, we are each a mixture, each beautiful once known and listened to, the effort always worth the struggle needed, growing in patients and fortitude, to understand the mystery of those who stand before us.
So much mystery hidden within each, many do not have the words to express what lies within the inner depths, the pain and joy experienced, the healings and yes the wounds received, often lost in acting out in ways that only lead to deeper pain……until one day someone sees them, listens, and the road to healing starts, though it is a long journey; this life seems set up for that, suffering, leading to healing, or perhaps sadly to despair; each playing their part in life’s little and big dramas, in leading others in one direction or another.
We are all healers, wounded ones for sure, yet called to forgive and uphold those around us, some more than others. Some who come into our lives gives us pleasure and companionship, others bring out the worst, so healers and teachers we are to one another, scraping and stroking, leading to deeper patients and compassion for others and hardest yet; compassion for ourselves.
Our longing for union propels us outward towards others, and yes also inward to the truly Other; unfelt, unseen, without form, yet our longings seems to be infinite, without end, so perhaps it is the infinite that will fulfill us in ways that our mystics tell us. The path steep;
we are all on it I believe, some more conscious than others, yet the seed there slowly taking root over our lives that swiftly pass, making our journey seem at times like a dream,
yet our search points to the reality of it all, the long search each is on, for we seek love,
in the endthat is all that matters.
