My heart is bursting

You might think I’m having a hard attack or participating in some kind of erotic activity by the title of this post, but in reality my heart is holding so much love that it feels like it’s going to burst.

Now let me be clear (said in the voice of Obama;), I have no shortage of love in my life, but my summer school students just put me over the edge.

I think what happened is that I decided to love them first. I saw the unique spirit and gifts in each of them – the edgy students, the charming students, the free spirited students and the courageous students. There were gentle giants and future stars in this class.

I won’t go on and on describing each one, even though I want to… But at some point the winds changed and they began pouring love in my direction. By the end of the class it was a full-on love fest.

I’m so honored to have people to “see.” To really see is to fall in love and what we put out there comes back to us tenfold, maybe even a hundredfold, which is why my heart is bursting.
