The Midst Of Your Heart

By Evan Sanders


The midst of your heart can turn out to be a pretty pure place to go. I used to believe it was a place of intense perplexity and where the past lived, but I have come to find that it's really a place of pureness.

These thoughts and emotions that I feel inside have been claimed by others to be intense and for some unknown reason I have experienced some variety of negativism with this word. Perhaps it's the way that I am taking it? Possibly... it's the way in which I interpret that word? Nonetheless, I am absolutely beginning to find that this emotional force about life is essentially pure simplicity manifesting itself.

I am hooking up and linking into the purity of a number of these emotions that I haven't absolutely experienced before. Maybe that's the idea right there - completely experiencing emotions.

When we shut ourselves off from experiencing negative feelings we also shut ourselves off from experiencing the wide array of positive ones also. The midst of your heart can turn out to be a place that you can go to grasp the truths about yourself instead of a place that you have to be frightened of. In this place, there exist lessons of love and passion. Why wouldn't you want to go there?

I think we are frightened of this place as we have experienced how wild and intense some of these emotions we pass through are and that really scares the hell out of us. For who knows what reason, we are taught to keep a lid on ourselves and not stray too far outside the middle because that's the secure place to play. No, I'd rather climb giant trees and travel into unknown lands than play it conservatively.

That game is not for me...the playing it safe game in life.

The midst of your heart could be a place that you go to comprehend the subtleties and perplexities of this life. There are so many things that we don't understand about what is happening in this world just because we can't see them. Sometimes, you have got to run on faith. You have to be willing to put your feet forward, one after the next directly into the dense thick fog and function on that faith. Will it be frightening? You can bet your money on it. Will it be worth it? Oh totally. Time and time again you have to travel into your heart to find your true self and start to function in a way that is really connected and present with the rest of the world. If you can try that, there is not any cap on what you'll become.

So what will it be today?
