the wide open heart

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,

we must carry it with us, or we find it not.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

where will I be living in the heart after all?

inquiry for today~ when it’s time to just be, just be…

deep in life’s folly…

A mind is a strange place, strange and solitary — the only place where, with all our passions of reason and all our calculations of emotion, we render reality what it is; the only place where truth is won or lost, where beauty means anything, where mathematics, God, and the color of your mother’s eyes exist. That out of such solitude and such strangeness one mind can touch another, touch a constellation of others, touch the spirit of its time and the soul of the future — this is the great miracle that makes the loneliness bearable and life more alive.
