HEARTFULNESS ABOVE THOUGHTFULNESS
HEARTFULNESS ABOVE THOUGHTFULNESS
~traveling in another’s shoes
How do you travel in another’s shoes? It is not through thought-and-prayer. Thought-and-Prayer keeps you distanced, like the supplicant waiting outside the city gates with too much luggage to pass through the needle’s eye. Thoughtfulness keeps you safe; it causes you to keep another’s pain or distress from infiltrating your own system, your Heart and your Heartfulness.
When you feel in your Heart for another person, you feel how their Thoughts and Emotions are affecting them. This happens with the most regularity when a shared experience becomes common: when you feel sad for people whose homes have burned, and the difference you feel when your own home has burned. Ever after, experiencing just the information of someone’s home burning causes you to respond differently.
What about losing a loved one? You may say “our thoughts and prayers are with them.” How ineffectual does that feel when you are the one experiencing the loss? Does Thoughtfulness equate with Heartfulness? No. Thoughts divide us. Our Hearts engage us.
To be understood and treated with wisdom and compassion, we must do our best to do the same for others. We must feel in our Hearts for the hungry child, the suicidal father, the displaced family, the shamed veteran, the hopeless cancer patient, the grieving mother.
Thoughtfulness is a first step, but Heartfulness is where our bounties lie. Be Thoughtful. Now, take action that is Heartful.
Blessed Be This Day
