The human heart is so fragile. Negate its ability to pump and life ceases to exist. This organ is so tender that we have one of the hardest bones in the body, the sternum, protecting it.
Life is fragile. We can be like that sternum. Life is tender. We need adequate systems of protection and defense for our sensitive interior. Safety in our lives is important the way the human body has taken care of us with our bones!
Yet, our sternum is not 3 feet thick. It is thick enough to offer protection but it’s not so thick and heavy that it would otherwise impede our ability to move!
But it is irony, or is it paradox, which allows us to hold as one, two disparate realities at the same time. We need bones protecting our sensitive organs, but we do not need to build an impenetrable wall around ourselves. We would cut ourselves off from the rest of the world and the rest of the world would be cut off from us.
Engaging the world with our heart is important and necessary. Closing ourselves off from the world, or worse, impeding, infringing, or intruding on another’s heart is ill-advised.
Personally, my religion is love. My philosophy is co-creation. My belief is in sustainability and conscious evolution. In these anxious and challenging days, with this New Moon in Cancer, the sign of the crab or the turtle, we must find ways to hold adequate safety and protection in one hand and magnanimity, compassion, and love in the other.
Like the crab or the turtle or the rib cage, it’s important that we have adequate levels of protection. We tread carefully with mean people. We don’t allow ourselves to exacerbate escalated emotions. When things get intense, we stop, breathe, and remove ourselves from the situation in order to gain perspective. We take really good care of ourselves. We seek internal validation based on right action. We then return to that situation, or the world, with all of the strength of our heart.
We do our best to act from that heart, from places like compassion because, chances are, anyone we are dealing with also has a heart, also has the capacity to feel and express love. That means that, no matter what the conflagration, all peoples of the world want to feel safe and want to feel happy. Let’s remember this.
Let’s remember to act with kindness and act with compassion as well as establish maintain adequate and healthy levels of preparedness and self-care. Hold closely those who are sacred to us and let go of tedious, superfluous, or unhealthy relationships. Set intentions for living a life in alignment with the needs of heart, hearth, and home, as opposed to a life of fear and hyper protection of it.
Now is the time to ask ourselves what is really important. Put your hands on your heart, truly listen, and you’ll know the answer. Confidently follow through on that, and all will be well.
