Is This How Your Heart and Mind Make You Whole?

The Crossroads of the “Primordial Sapien” and the “Modern Human”

How do we know when we’re at our best?

How do we know when we’re being all that we could be?

How do we know that the character we’re playing is truly us?

Among all of the suffering, how could we recognize the goodness of anything?

It’s here. Right here.

Or…there. I guess. In you.

In your thoughts and emotions.

Congratulations! You found it.

…

What else do you want from me??

Fine. I’ll tell you what I think, but it’s your job to go forth and do the thing.

Your thing.

Deal?

Okay, good.

My theory

…

There’s a crossroads of sorts that happens sporadically in the human condition, it seems.

It’s where the heart and mind find one another.

It’s fleeting yet intoxicating.

It’s where the joy you seek comes into touch with the work you’ve done to get it.
