"Where there is no love, put love - and you will find love."
St. John of the Cross,
16th century Spanish mystic
Last weekend, Joanne and I hiked up in the mountains on a cold and
blustery day. However, an hour into the hike, we found a small,
sun-warmed "cave" which sheltered us from the cold and wind. It was
actually "toasty" in there, and we were able to eat lunch and have an
extended retreat. Joanne even got out her knitting needles. It felt
like a summer day!
This reminded me that when we find the world too cold and impersonal, it is time for us to enter the heart and warm ourselves by the heat of the Inner Light that is always present there. Then, consciously allowing the warmth of our Divine Source to radiate out from the heart, we can begin to bring that warmth into the world!
