Letting <strong>the</strong> Fortress fall …<br />

(06/15/<strong>2012</strong>)<br />

“The fortress that I’ve painstakingly constructed all <strong>the</strong>se years<br />

is fundamentally ruptured … Love is beaming through <strong>the</strong> cracks.<br />

And my Love for everything around me is beaming right back.” ~ Hea<strong>the</strong>r Peroni<br />

We’ve been building fortresses against pain & disappointment all our lives.<br />

We’ve been surrounding ourselves with material comforts & superficial pleasures<br />

& “our kind of people” in order <strong>to</strong> keep ourselves safe <strong>from</strong> harm …<br />

And yet <strong>the</strong> very castles that we have built <strong>to</strong> protect us <strong>from</strong> pain are <strong>the</strong><br />

very walls that are keeping us <strong>from</strong> knowing real Joy … The very s<strong>to</strong>nes we have<br />

used <strong>to</strong> keep out enemies at bay are <strong>the</strong> very boulders that are keeping us <strong>from</strong><br />

knowing real Companionship.<br />

It takes a lot of guts <strong>to</strong> tear those walls down … and yet until we do we’ll<br />

never really know anything about <strong>the</strong> glorious Life that awaits us on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side.<br />
