Cracked open. It's happening for you, not to you.
The challenge of life is to keep your heart open when you most want to close it.
To let Life crack you open.
To open through hurt and loss. To allow what is falling away to fall away.
Being human is a courageous act. A life well lived is full of losses and tragedies, as much as triumphs and adventures. Wherever you find yourself at the moment, life is coaxing you to keep your heart open no matter how much it hurts. To continually unfold...to let life crack you open.
Perhaps you are going through a difficult time right now. Instead of cursing the difficulty, see it as a blessing. To open yourself up to the truth that, as hard as it may be, life is happening for you, not to you. And one day in the not too distant future, you may just bless the thing that broke you down and cracked you open because the world needs you open.
Sometimes you need to treat yourself like a tender, sweet baby. To wrap yourself in a blanket and trust that the Divine has you cradled in it's arms. The seas may not be all smooth sailing, but you are safe and you are held.
One day, not too far from today, you will look back at the transformation and be blown away by the poetry of life.
Everything is going to be OK.
You are Divine Love ...
