We can choose with any breath, at any moment, to enter into a deeper sense of reality by connecting with our hearts.  Our power comes from the coherence created by the joining of our hearts and minds.  God wants us to fully experience all life has to offer not just in mind but also body, soul, and spirit.  This means bringing all of ourselves to the table.  This means exploring the world of inner selves so that we might change the perception of our outer reality.  Recently I was reminded of one of my favorite quotes by Marcel Proust: ” The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.”  All that we perceive outside of ourselves comes from the perception inside of ourselves.  This is why two people present at the same event can have two completely different experiences. The fullness of life’s experiences comes in broadening the eyes through which we see.  A joining of our hearts and minds allows us to not just see but feel and connect with what we are seeing.  Our hearts encourage us to place ourselves in oneness with the experience we are seeing.  Our hearts invite us to see the similarities and connections between our inner experience and outer reality.  Our minds alone see the differences but our hearts allow us to embrace the beauty of those differences because we can simultaneously sense the deeper similarities.

My prayer for us is the courage to seek a new voyage by shifting our seeing from only a mindset to a mind and heart set today.

If we could honor that which is outside of ourselves by seeing it through the eyes of our hearts, what new voyages of discovery might you experience today?  Share in the comments.
