I love the sheltering heart
the sky-wide soul
that makes sure the child in line isn't overlooked,
that sees the turn signal and let's you in,
or notices someone staring into a handful of change and says
"Can I help? It's no trouble."The heart that grabs your hand,
looks you straight in the eye and says,
"Look at me. I can see you are hurting.
We have to talk."
Then holds all your convoluted ramblings,
your emotional injuries,
like they're tangled necklaces
of rubies and pearls,
sorts them patiently,
and smilingly places them all around your neck
like you're the princess
with a silly, wet kiss. The heart that, in a crowded foyer,
isn't rushing for the door,
but scanning the crowd for tiny people,
pregnant women, the wispy elder with a cane,
and not afraid to say loudly,
"Easy does it, watch out for your neighbor." The heart that like a big umbrella,
sits through endless, boring community meetings,
to be able to say,
"Is the playground still budgeted in?
Can we plant some trees near those benches?
Put a light and a phone booth near that bus stop?
A recycle bin near the picnic tables?"
Looking out for everyone. A sensitive heart
that asks one last time,
"Are you sure you fed the dog?
Do you need anything from the store?
Would you like the last brownie?" I love the sheltering heart,
whose peace increases with giving
which feels everyone's unspoken needs
fine-tuning the instrument of true living. Ah, do I love the sheltering heart. Sayyeda Claire Costello Barry IP: Logged |

 Good post, HSC. Good message.  LOL Star, yes I don't bother with double posts, I am famous for the triple ones. hee hee Was too funny when that happened after Moonchild posted his picture. Although his picture seems to have that effect on more women than just me.  Incidently, I just sent you an email, Star. IP: Logged |

lol@Mirandee...... but even I liked that picture for various reasons. I had completed a yoga/meditation/breathing course, and it had actually given me a rejuvenated energy flow in my soul, mind, heart. brain and body. So I know there was something good about me, and once I saw those two pictures, I as well as my other colleagues at work told me that my aura was vibrating bright! Good one HSC, well, call me a foot-in-mouth Sagitarian, I actually read the title as Sweltering Heat! 'duh! ------------------
