Entering the heart is like coming into the center of the sun. There is no more you; there is nothing except the iridescent force of that light. When you are in the center of the sun, there is no way to block its’ light. It streams through you and around you. So by entering your own heart, you make the whole world a better paradise.

-Gurumayi

Hello sun! After a struggle between light and dark here in Vermont, we have settled (at least for a few days) into the sunshine of spring. In the spring, I always notice how the sun helps me to melt away a layer of psychological baggage and reminds me of the joy and light present within my own heart. The glowing faces and lighter presence of others confirms my own experience with the return of the light. Entering the heart is like unearthing mysteries that spark spontaneous joy. This internal joy in sanskrit is called svayambhu. Seeking this joy is the light of life. Where do we look? Why inside our hearts of course! Happy Spring.
