I Remain

I remain in my heart. It is not a white or a black or a brown heart, it is a human heart. A human heart, filled with the pain of longing to see a new level of loving, all of us, loving. Ourselves and others, at the same time, in the same way. We are ready, we can do it. Our tears, the salt of them, can heal all wounds. We must bow to each other, kiss the feet of the blessed other, even if we do not completely understand, knowing we can never completely fathom the pain of the Blessed Other. Yet, we do know how to hold the space of love. Because each of us was born with the knowledge of it. Now we are being given the chance to retrace our steps and to retrieve it, our own innate ability to love.
