Special exercise for July 26th, 2009:
Make room for love
The idea of having more love in our lives sounds very nice... but it's not something we simply wait for. We must do our part to make room for it. Love cannot find its way into a heart that's firmly and resolutely occupied by anger, frustration, jealousy, and blame. It's precisely in these moments when we are so consumed by negativity and so certain that love is not possible that we must reach for its guidance. That small micron of a wish made each time we come up empty-hearted (again) is the path to making permanent room in our hearts for that which can teach us about true compassion, kindness, and grace.
