The Mystery within... |
News features this past week broke my heart. First it was of a grandmother that took
a walk in the woods with her two-year-old grandson and became separated from
him. Days later the child was
found dead. My heart broke again
on hearing of the death of three children in a house fire when the
eleven-year-old sister successfully got one young sibling out but died trying
to save two who remained in the house.
The last five lines in Mary Oliver's poem "Lead" read:
"I tell you this
to break your heart,
by which I mean only
that it break open and never close again
to the rest of the world."
Hearts broken open must be the positive force behind human progress.
What if we all were willing to let heartbreak break us open
to the rest of the world?
