| A Heart Must Be Broken by Catherine Rathbun Snow Palace Retreat, Ontario January 1999 For more information about, and articles by, Catherine Rathbun visit the Friends of the Heart website Perhaps a heart must be broken before it is broken open. And from that tear pours forth a river of remorse For all the breakings and unkindnesses that human beings do to each other Perhaps we must stay broken in order to know how to help others to mend. Perhaps the universe in its compassion hears our cry of lament And answers not. For in the majesty of that silence We learn to stand Alone : Broken,The universal mystery fills us with wonder How can such majesty exist alongside such misery? Where do we place our drop, Into the pool of kindness or the ocean of callousness? Ours to choose Ours the choice Click here for the printfriendly version of this page About Us / Program / Teachers / Treasury / Buddings / Images / Links / Books / Stay / Contact Us / Members
