Hello everyone, in his talks and writings Jeff Foster <http://www.lifewithoutacentre.com/> often makes a distinction between where the mind goes and what the heart knows. With the attacks on Friday in Paris the mind easily goes to retribution, retaliation, justice, protection, and so on. And yet the heart knows it is profoundly sad.
It's sad that people were terrified, maimed, and died. It's sad that there are those who are so lost as to perpetrate such horrible sadness upon others. It is further sad that all this sadness is claimed as a retaliation for a previous sadness.
The human condition can bring you to tears.
Yet there is always hope. In our tears we often turn to something higher than ourselves, something beyond our minds and in touch with our hearts, something closer to us than breath itself.
May we sit this Sunday for that closeness. May we sit for it within ourselves and may we sit for all who are hurting.
In Reverence,
Richard
