greatness and pettiness
Your Heart Is Beautiful
Your heart, your beautiful heart! It is your heart, beloved. It is the midpoint between the world and Heaven. It has its feet in two boats. One boat is anchored in Heaven, and one boat is wobbly on Earth. Heaven is your love boat, beloveds. And the Earth boat seems to have no anchor, though, of course, Heaven is its anchor. There would be no Earth life without Heaven to secure it.
There Is Vastness
If you could let go of the little things that stick in your heart, how blessed the world would be. I am speaking of the little peeves, the little events that capture you. Perhaps someone snubbed you, looked at you in a way you didn't like, didn't hear you, didn't talk to you, talked too much, and so on.
Christ Lit Up the World
Gloria to God:
Dear God, I realize that no matter how great anger may seem, it is a surface thing and cannot touch the pure quality within.
God:
Anger is a storm that comes and go. It masks. It helps you to believe you are nothing but the surface. If you are nothing but the surface, then you are right to exercise control, hold on tight, try to make things the way you want at a given time. If the surface were all that there is, what else could you do?
