Letting the Fortress fall … ( 06 / 15 / 2012 )
“ The fortress that I ’ ve painstakingly constructed all these years is fundamentally ruptured … Love is beaming through the cracks . And my Love for everything around me is beaming right back .” ~ Heather Peroni
We ’ ve been building fortresses against pain & disappointment all our lives . We ’ ve been surrounding ourselves with material comforts & superficial pleasures & “ our kind of people ” in order to keep ourselves safe from harm …
And yet the very castles that we have built to protect us from pain are the very walls that are keeping us from knowing real Joy … The very stones we have used to keep out enemies at bay are the very boulders that are keeping us from knowing real Companionship .
It takes a lot of guts to tear those walls down … and yet until we do we ’ ll never really know anything about the glorious Life that awaits us on the other side .
