Have you ever noticed the way a bird is perched on a tree?  It sits there in the balance knowing its feet are securely connected to the limb of the tree and looks all around.  There is a gentleness in which all of nature expresses itself.  The way the wind blows the leaves of trees or brushes up against our skin.  There is the steady and gentle force of which grass and plant grow from the earth.  There is a gentleness with which blood and oxygen move through the body.  Our heart initiate this gentleness of spirit that has a thread running throughout life.  I know whenever I am caught up in the harshness of my mind, if I drop into my heart, I am less burdened.  Perhaps our hearts are trying to tell us something.  God is ready to help us see through the lens of gentleness.  It means letting go of us forcing something to happen and trusting in the universe’s good will for us regardless of what happens.  This is not easy and for me maybe part of why gentleness of heart is something I have had to painstakingly learn.  It is only painful because I resisted it.  How can being gentle cause anything to happen?  It does not make sense in my mind.  It makes sense to God and it is the vehicle through which God creates.  If I can trust it as an operating design of God I am willing to let go a little and test it out for myself.
