Taking time to sink into thankfulness for the truth of what is opens the space for us to be the human we are born to be. This is, to paraphrase the late Leonard Cohen, 'the crack where the light comes in'.
Cracks occur in a number of ways:
A house settles and a crack appears in the ceiling.
The root of a tree grows pressing against the sidewalk. The sidewalk cracks against the pressure of this tender, tenacious root.
Humpty Dumpty falls of the wall. He cracks his shell.
The earth quakes, she cracks open.
We lose a Love. Our heart breaks. Our heart has a crack.
It may take some time to hold gratitude for that which cracks us open so the Light can enter into our hearts and our life.
Self Reflection: Am I willing to allow time to see the truth in the cracks in my life?
