Pain Heart Broken

More From Lucy Maud Montgomery

Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.

Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates. broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts.

Every woman deserves a man that can make her heart forget that it was ever broken. even if these have been broken to pieces to me,this represents a person who gave me a complete,flawless heart. i don't need someone who makes my heart whole. instead, i need someone who will never let me feel broken. this is a good sign, having a broken heart. it means we have tried for something.

Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. this is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. but if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. we will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.

The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's way i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore, for me pain is pleasure. and so when i am experiencing pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain for a particular reason. i don't like needle's stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion.

Have you ever experienced a pain so sharp in your heart that it's all you can do to take a breath? it's a pain you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy; you wouldn't want to pass it on to anyone else for fear he or she might not be able to bear it. it's the pain of being betrayed by a person with whom you've fallen in love. it's not as serious as death, but it feels a whole lot like it, and as i've come to learn, pain is pain any way you slice it.
