“The workings of the human heart are the profoundest mystery of the universe.  One moment they make us despair of our kind, and the next we see in them the reflection of the divine image.”

— Charles W. Chesnutt

Today is a perfect day for opening your heart to all the universe has to offer.  We are only human; and that means we are made up of all the good, bad, and ugly things that define humanity.  We are human; and that means we are also made of the beautiful parts of the divine essence of all Creation.  Our hearts have seen it all and felt it all; and at different times, each of us has shared all the different facets of our humanity with the others we meet.  Today is a perfect day for opening your heart to all the universe has to offer; and what the universe has to offer is changed by what you add to the mix when you open your heart.

Yesterday I was part of a discussion about connecting with others, heart to heart.  It is not a difficult thing to do; in fact, we do it all the time, whether we recognize it or not.  Whatever it is that we carry in our hearts is broadcast from us in all directions, and we are constantly receiving similar energies from the other people we meet.  We have the ability to affect the nature of the energy we contribute in this way.  It involves spending time with our soul’s love and allowing that pure, created love to merge with our heart and drive out the lower forms of love that require something in return, that give birth to jealousy, that leave us feeling rejected when another person does not respond in kind.  We did some meditation that involved merging heart and soul and intentionally sharing that love with another person.  It was remarkable to find times when that same sort of love was reflected back, uplifting us and encouraging us to strive for that higher sort of love when sharing with others.

Today I will make it an intention to open my heart and send out the sort of love my soul has for the universe.  I will do my best to let petty jealousies bounce off the surface and be sent to the earth.  I will celebrate the pure love and compassion that is the gift of my own creation and send it out with no strings attached.  Today I will open my heart to all the universe has to offer, and I will send good things to the hearts of others.
