I find the
times we’re in so interesting… one moment celebrating… the next gnashing my
teeth in despair… and barely anything between… Overall, it’s exciting… Things
are on the move…
For so long,
the heart has basically been sidelined when it comes to decision making… It’s
laughed off as weak… stupid… not practical… too feminine… And yet… many of us
desire a world where love is the underlying law… where people treat each other
with a sense of respect… and with dignity… The heart knows these things well…
and beneath that hard protective armor most of us have developed… we want what
the heart wants… don’t we?
This being
said… how do we expect to get there exactly… to the world of which our heart
dreams… if we refuse to acknowledge it?... To follow it?... We are presented
with opportunities all the time… where the heart says “Yes! Yes! Yes!”… We feel
the excitement… the hope… the possibility for something different… then the
head bursts in… reminding us of past experiences… of all the things that may
happen… things of which we should be afraid… And the heart slowly fades into
the background… once again, unheard… disrespected… not given the dignity it
deserves…
Without the
heart to guide it… the mind creates a world in response to fear… With the heart
guiding… the mind creates a world much different… a world based in hope…
respect… dignity… a world supporting opportunities for all… while
simultaneously encouraging each of us to share what we uniquely have to offer…
It’s
interesting… because this battle between head and heart has come to the
forefront… Check out the “talking heads” following the political campaigns…
debates… town hall meetings… They’re even talking about the head and the heart…
One candidate is the heart’s choice… the other, the mind’s… and I’ve found this
to be true…
A couple of
weeks ago, I wrote a blog I didn’t post… It was on my own dilemma between the
head and the heart… At that time… one candidate definitely had my heart… the
other, my mind… My mind was logical… rational… and fearful… What if the
candidate of my heart can’t win the general election, then what?...
I decided at
that time… it was time for me to put my vote where my heart is… If I desire a
different world… then I have to choose differently… in everyday life… in
politics… in everything… And if there’s one thing I’m certain… at least for me…
it’s the heart’s time, baby!... And I’m
excited about it. J
Much love,
Karrie
