The Heart

 When you look across a room and see someone who attracts you, or hear their voice, and words, and are drawn to be with them, you are seeing with the eyes of your heart and the ears of your heart.  You are falling in love.  To see only with the eyes in your head or hear only with the ears on either side of your head will not make this sudden and seemingly deep connection.  You will see and hear “another” but not “the other.”  Another, that person will not be part of you, in any deep, unitive fashion, to make you a better self.  “The Other” will.  I cannot read or meditate on spiritual books, pictures, images, architecture, unless I can be inside me, with the eyes and ears of the heart.  You can talk about a Power greater than yourself, but unless it is heard by another as a language within their heart, they won’t be much moved.
