Thinking with My Heart

So today, shall I use the logic of reason?

Driven into me in years of study,

Psychology and behavioral science,

All designed to have me do the right thing,

According to the law,

Or to Freud.

Now I am going to the fresh air in,

The love of my fellow man,

The thinking which happens in the deep,

Where many don’t want to go.

For fear of some indefensible action.

Like thinking with my heart.

When sadness reigns

When sadness reigns,

There is but one place to go.

My refuge awaits,

The Word,

The Sacrament,

The Light.

So now I retreat into a holy place,

Protected yet vulnerable,

It is time to be humble once again,

So the rainstorm of graces will come again,

And the false self is diminished.

Until the battery of my power is full discharged.

And I feel the divine touch me again.
