I woke up this moring wanting again to go home... I had just lost a best friend due to my lack of senssitivity...and I was full of self-criticism... I couldn't shake it until I read your post and followed it up to the words you also read... I read that post before and it was meaningful to me when I read it but... I read it again and I hope it finally found a home in my heart.
There are simple images and words that rotate in my mind. Rather than the constant self criticism, what if we all let those loving words reverberate through our thoughts all day. In a week or so the world would begin to dim and heaven would take its place...heaven on earth...The sun replaced by another light...looking up each day into the face of God...
