Select One Spiritual Nugget to Inspire Your Day
The ancient voices remind us that what clouds the heart is not life itself, but the passions that divide it, fragmenting clarity into a thousand restless pieces. “The problem with the passions is that they divide the heart.” These passions are not vitality, but emotions turned in upon themselves, circling endlessly until they become our story, our drama, our exhaustion. Evagrius, the wise guide of the early centuries, teaches that stillness reveals the first flicker of thought before it takes root in identity. When caught early, there is space to release it before it hardens into suffering. This letting go is not a loss but a profound freedom. Kenosis, the emptying of self into presence, is the path that opens vision, so the heart regains its luminous capacity to see.
May your heart discover its clarity in the gentle courage of letting go.
