What's it take to wake your soul?
What does it take to impassion that which is dead?
How do we align our hearts to that music which plays throughout the universe, creaking with oak trees swaying, ripping out of the ground, bent low by the hurricane?
As we see the pain around us. Think about it. Taste it. Not the bruised pride, showy pain, but the deep, raw, broken pain that surrounds us. The screaming of people wanting to be loved, wanting to be someone special, wanting to be healed from the loneliness. Live in it. Recognize it for what it is. Don't ignore it. Or your soul will die as well. It will wither in selfish pride and ignorance until it is no more and you fight to keep it that way.
Let us break the chains of apathy!
Let us learn to love!
Not this silly, self serving love, focused only on pleasure.
No conditions.
Only forgiveness.
Only truth.
Deeper and deeper.
But how? But how?
Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
