Heart Talk
Some feelings don't easily flow.
Unless informed and encouraged
to release the waters of life
inside of us, our lives become
dams without outlets. In our best
effort, expressions from our heart
will issue 'a start and stumble',
'a huff and a puff', a 'no go'. It's
as if to do so would be a 'grand theft'
of our privacy. When encouraged to speak,
not just words and thoughts from the surface
of our minds, but from deep within the heart,
our response is usually 'a stop, stutter, and stare',
'a where do I start?' It is a life-long challenge to
navigate the fogs of life. To some, it's normal to say
what they really think and feel. Such transparency seems
to free them and keeps them whole and healed. They have nothing
within them that blocks, and have no checks and balances. Uninhibited
Words roll from their lips like avalanches. They seem fearless, free,
and clear of blockages. Such unfolding and revealing creates connections;
Heart and soul touching connections.
