It's bottomless . . . .

While putting together today's post, I remembered a previous post from November that relates to the above quote. It's entitled How much can the heart hold? and it always reminds me of just how bottomless the heart really is. The amount of what the heart can hold is truly immeasurable!

from the book A New Earth. . . .

"If you are not spending all of your waking life in discontent, worry, anxiety, depression, despair, or consumed by other negative states; if you are able to enjoy simple things like listening to the sound of the rain or the wind; if you can see the beauty of clouds moving across the sky or be alone at times without feeling lonely or needing the mental stimulus of entertainment; if you find yourself treating a complete stranger with heartfelt kindness without wanting anything from him or her . . . it means that a space has opened up, no matter how briefly, of alive peace, even though it may be subtle. . . . ."

"So when you appreciate something simple - a sound, a sight, a touch - when you see beauty, when you feel loving kindness toward another, sense the inner spaciousness that is the source and background to that experience. . . . ."

"Be still. Look. Listen. Be present."
