Heart Storms

We Have the Same HeartThere is a place deep inside where our individual stories cling together to form a common knowledge of humanity. In different lands with different enemieswithin and outside ourselves,no matter the color of our skinor the place of our birth,our religion or god or absence thereof;no matter our homes or cities, our jobs, or money;our size or sex or preferences,nor education or health or sickness,or strengths and weaknesses of body, mind, and spirit,no matter our beliefs or politics or culture, we fight the same battles,we wage the same wars.Our lives suffer kindred loss,our hearts echo the same grief,our teardrops fill with collective pain. Deep in our souls, we know the truth of who we are.Yet we rage, fear and hate in the quest forpeace, love, and happiness.Our spirits struggle to find the grace already there,our lives thrash maniacally on a quest for harmony,our hearts seek love desperately,searching for the birthright robbed by the acts of living. No one knows for certain why we move throughpain and loss to find healing and life;why we go through hell to find paradise.But we do, each in our unique way.
