safety in the mundane

Did you honestly think you could mis-treat your heart and feed it poor choices and anger and hate, and then expect it to be willing to open to light. Your heart needs to learn to receive. This is how you need to look at those who are lacking in light. For whatever reason, they are unable to open their hearts. Pain, hurt, loss, despair, mental illness, trauma, anger, fear, sadness…the list is quite long. These things can cause one to stop opening to the light. Those lacking in light are always lacking for a reason. Feeding into the reason will not solve the problem. It just feeds the issue of lack. Prison inmates often will break the law once released from prison, to get back inside, as they are afraid of the outside, unknown world. The prison is a safe place that they know well, so they choose to stay there. Like our heart if it lacks light…The unknown, whether light or not, can be a familiar pace. Familiarity is hard to walk away from, it is comforting, it is safe. They know what to expect. Even if they are lacking light to us, it is what they know. All they know.
