and the Tablets of Old

For awhile now, I've been under the impression that no one knows their own heart completely. This makes giving your heart to another in relationships incredibly difficult. I can't give my heart away if I don't know what it is. Yet I am disappointed when another can't offer themselves to me.

"We're all trying to fill the same ole' void," says Kerouac.

No wonder relationships are difficult.

What I'm finding is that I am still learning the innermost workings of my heart, as if God is slowly giving me my heart back. And that's enough.

The goal isn't to learn my heart completely, because the changing nature of the heart makes that impossible. The point is there is a SHIFT of focus from the end, the peak of the mountain, to the means...the JOURNEY itself.
