Have you ever had a question for which you did not know the answer and it seemed to drive you crazy?  Our minds are problem solvers.  Facing unknown things can be both exciting and anxiety-ridden depending on what story we have made up about it.  The irony is that sometimes it is the story that gets in our way of coming up with a solution.  Creating a story is a way that our minds fill in the breaches of our knowledge.  It is a way of reassuring our system that we will survive.  It comes in handy when there are many gaps in our knowledge.  On my daily dates with God, I am invited to notice where I have filled a breach with a story.  God guides me to connect with my heart by breathing into it. The breathing comes in handy when I am called upon to evaluate whether the story that filled the breach is still serving me.  My mind will tell me it is needed so there is no breach.  God reminds me that perhaps the breach is best remedied by the story of my heart. It is the heart that houses the possibilities not seen in my mind. With curiosity and some interest in exploration, we can step into a breach with the courage of our hearts and see what is not visible to the mind.
