Mind vs Heart

In our attempt to understand the world and to feel certainty, our mind has the tendency to compartmentalise; to label, to judge, and to separate in order to protect our fragile sense of self. This can naturally draw lines between ourselves and others, right and wrong, safe and unsafe; and in doing so, it can create distance and disconnection. Where the mind creates these walls, the heart, through love and empathy, can open doors to connect us to a deeper truth.  When we learn to soften the grip of the mind and allow our hearts to lead, even for a moment, we can begin to remember that the distance between us was never real; it was only created by our mind.
