an emptiness

[upsetmyheart]

years can't prepare the heart for what life deals sometimes; this, i know.  i have learned, there is no one way to decipher or capitulate the flips and twists of my own heart.  clarity, i see now, does not form before me as i grow; nor do i see with a wiser eye than yesterday...i only see more: less tangible, yet more layered.  though my heart

These are some cruel hurdles life places in front of us at times, but it is when you stand and fight that makes you realise what you've got, and just how much it's worth being here. Heartbreak feels like deep ugliness, but it gives up hope that tomorrow can be different. People change like the times and enemies of the world; confront the darkness and head on out to the light. Believe me, it's so much better out here than in there.

Love,

Dear "Upset My Heart"...

I was moved by your words and should I venture to years past of my writing no that I too have lived and wondered through some of what you sing... a broken heart is so very sad and difficult... yet too I have come to believe that sometimes in our broken state we slowly repair in a way that is stronger and more beautiful. Questions seem to remain and haunt at times, yet I have come to believe that sometimes in my own broken state, I fully realize my humanity and the breadth power and hope of God. I do not share to preach, just pray to bring a kernel of hope. ... I am in this mindful state having just gone to a Mercy Me concert and within my journal posted a very moving story and video of a young man and his father..perhaps you have seen it, every time I do, I cry.

I close with a quote I love from the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes"...

Jessica Tandy amidst her reflection says, "Even after the heart is broken, it beats on." ....
Blessings
