Heartache and Loss

The Lama graces us with a teaching about how loss and heartache can reveal the impermanence of life and the limits of seeking lasting fulfillment in ever-changing experiences. He points out the distinction between temporary appearances and an underlying, unchanging reality, and the shift from identifying with a separate self to recognizing reality. Thank You Thank you for the teachings that burned Thank you for the blessings that stung Thank you for the grace of knowing loss Thank you for the grace of knowing loss In my heart There is no more room For the image of a stranger   Love's meaning is an immanence of adventure HeartBreak is the intimation of closeness Love and HeartBreak, Her gifts to the hallowed Love and HeartBreak, Her gifts to the hallowed   In my heart There is no more room For the image of a stranger   My life is a slow reveling mystery - joy from pain You too long to see as you have been seen Your life, like mine, is made from infinity lost Kiss Her, your Heart will have no more room For the image of a stranger
