Patterns of the Heart

Patterns of the Heart
A few weeks ago I found myself looking up at the night sky and asking God the question ... "Is this all there is?" regarding my recently ended relationship.

Yes, that's when I recognized that each of us  must examine our "Life Patterns of the Past" ... Old Patterns ... some good and some not so good ... many of which were first started and programmed into us during our youth ... with a  knowing and an acceptance that there are at least some of these Old Patterns that we will want to change.

We might just consider committing to such pattern changes for obvious reasons ... because we so much desire new and different results in our lives other than the ones we have experienced too many times before as a result of our Old Life Patterns. We want and are ready to experience new results that will bring us joy and understanding with the world around us ... and most important to have continued peace and love in devoted relationships. 

So then this is the first Life Pattern we can consider to change within ourselves ... "A willingness to discuss and share our observations about our Old Patterns with others within a safe space." Thus we open the possibilities of choosing the patterns that will work for us in our future desires ... and just as important so we can find ways to change or eliminate the patterns that do not work any longer.  And also a willingness to open our hearts and souls to so we can communicate with each other in truth ... of not only what is above the water line - the obvious ... but in truth of what is also below the water line as well - what's hidden.

And to remember that we always communicate and listen with no judgment but only with acceptance and acknowledgement. Because this is what we desire ... that is how we want to live.  It is all part of an ever continuing process of growth and understanding ... for this is how we choose our lives to be.

It feels good as I write these words ... and now to discover and begin to live these new Patterns of the Heart.
