Formation of the Heart




"Suffering that is not transformed will be transmitted." - Sister Miriam James Heidland



When I go running, I have certain days in which I feel so freeing. So light and "in the zone." Then there comes those days, where it just feels that for every stride taken, more weight is added on.  It is like running on muddy grounds.

These days feel like those muddy runs and it can get frustrating. I WANT THAT MUD OUT. Main reason being that it can lead to despondency. In the spirits of being real to oneself, how does one handle such turfs? First instincts are to find distractions, yet, it is one of those that once you know what you are doing....you can't extract reality out.


 


"Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you cannot bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond the pain." St. Bartholomew
