Shining Through

‘There’s a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.’ - Leonard Cohen

Earlier today (while reading the “On the Same Page” post for this week, Shining Through), I was overcome with a wave of emotion by this line: I want to be shined through.

The words felt tender and true. I want to be shined through. I don’t want to do the shining.

It’s a lot of work to stay all polished and glimmery. Spit here. Rub there.

I want to be shined through. To Be. Not Do.

"If you're really listening, if you're awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold evermore wonders."   Andrew Harvey
