A Daily Look Within – Day 24

It is quite a big deal to share what we like to call our personal space…to allow someone else to get close enough and hug us; being so near to another person that they can see the many little imperfections we so often try to hide…right down to the tears that can overwhelm us from time to time. Yet hugging is the very motion of being “that” close to someone that lets us know how open and sincere they are or how much they really care.

When we say we feel something deeply, our heart to the root of our soul carries our experience. It is no real surprise that our heart lays where it does, in the middle of our being…above the feet and legs, but below the connective and processing brain. It is located in the perfect position, of course, between our Earthly home and our spiritual, cosmic beyond. We may not be exactly the same, but we all have a beating heart in about the same place. We may have nerves that can notice tingling sensations all over our body, but it is our heart that lies in the middle of it all. It is our balancing, core place to know if an impulse is a good sensation or a worrisome one.

If you have ever known or cared for someone with a debilitating condition that causes a difference in physical or mental ability, you will quickly learn that these are truly special people and I can tell you why that is. It is not only because they are here to tell us there are those who have a more difficult life than our own–that is just a part of it. They are also here as indicators of the larger truth that even though our physical body may be affected or become deteriorated over time, those physical differences do not matter.
