Broken Hearts
“Every time your heart is broken, a doorway cracks open to a world full of new beginnings, new opportunities.” – Patti Roberts, The Angels Are Here
Many people have had their hearts broken during these last few difficult years. When we make a conscious choice to make our lives about being in the world but not of the world, we will experience heartbreak. We will go through the loss of those we love, of hopes, dreams and illusions. We will feel the pain of living in a broken world knowing life does not have to be this way. Things that used to provoke an angry response from me now just bring feelings of sadness.
Still, we carry on, looking for the light coming in through the broken places, walking in, through and as the light of God in this world. This is our calling. This is our life.
This month our quotes will be about heartbreak.

The Friday Affirmation
“It’s a blessing to celebrate a birthday.”

The I Am Will Take Over
In the Bhagavad Gita it says, “Out of a million people, one searches for God. And out of a million people who search, one finds Him.”It’s sort of difficult. That’s how it appears. But if you begin to use I Am as a meditation and you allow the I Am to go deeper and deeper, your bodily consciousness will disappear, and I Am will take over. (p. 101-102)”
― Robert Adams, Silence of the Heart: Dialogues with Robert Adams
