Love Letter to the Newly Awakened

 Dear Loving Ones,

This is for the ones walking through their days with broken hearts, those who have found themselves carrying deep sadness, anger, malaise, or just general disbelief and shock.  Whether that heartbreak has been caused by loss of a loved one, a fractured relationship or from the plethora of current events plaguing our world, it is heartbreak nonetheless and it is real.  Your heart may ache with an ever-present nagging of discomfort or even with distinct pain.  Neither should be discounted as insignificant.  This heartbreak is an opportunity for going inward and assessing what is needed to move ahead to enable a life of peaceful moments.

Experiencing heartbreak is like being newly awakened.  It tears away the shroud of safety that we have become so adept at placing around ourselves.  It awakens us to the comings and goings of the universe around us.  It enables us to remember how important it is to love others, as well as care for ourselves.  It’s as if we begin to notice others who are feeling the same way, and are more open to connecting with them in a quest to mend ourselves, as well as heal society around us.  As I hear news almost every day about loss of life due to violence and hatred, it is often very tempting to allow myself to sink back into the hole of heartache.  But allowing myself to disappear into that abyss of pain only discourages my love from being shared with others. 

If you find yourself angry, sad, frightened, disillusioned or grieving, you are one of the newly awakened. 

We all have a light to shine and my wish for all the newly awakened is that we can feel our way past our heartbreak and use it as a way to connect and spread peace. 

Much Love and Metta,


-->
Michelle
