Day 10 | The loving voice of wisdom
Everyday I ask the loving voice of wisdom, which dwells in our hearts and in this world: “What would you have me know today?” And then I listen. This is what I heard one day, not long ago…
From elsewhere:
“Rest thee by many brooks and hearthsides without misgiving.” (Henry David Thoreau, Walden)
In my mind I responded:
But I don’t feel okay. I don’t feel at rest, at ease. Everything’s just a little bit uphill.
From my heart:
It’s been that way ever since you started walking uphill, hasn’t it?
What’s up there, do you think?
What’s up there worthy of the slog?
Is there any other route to the magic?
I hear you thinking:
“If it’s going to be like this, then I don’t want to do it.”
So: Do it different.
And I know. I know you’re trying to. I see your efforts, dear heart.
You’re doing great.
And don’t forget: You can do better without having been bad.
