To receive this blessing, all you have to do is let your heart break.
Let it crack open. Let it fall apart so that you can see its secret chambers,
the hidden spaces where you have hesitated to go. Your entire life is here,
inscribed whole upon your heart’s walls: every path taken or left behind, every
face you turned toward or turned away, every word spoken in love or in rage,
every line of your life you would prefer to leave in shadow, every story that
shimmers with treasures known and those you have yet to find. It could take you
days to wander these rooms. Forty, at least. And so let this be a season for
wandering for trusting the breaking for tracing the tear that will return you
to the One who waits who watches who works within the rending to make your
heart whole.
