Cold, Cold Hearts
When someone you love can’t feel your love.
Share:
It could happen.
You love with your whole heart only to find that love ‘returned to sender’ time and time again.
You could love with your whole heart, mind, soul, and actions, but the person who you love might not be able to see, feel, or receive your love.
Old hurts, past events and memories stand at the door of deeply wounded hearts and bar the way to sweet feelings and sentiments of deep authentic loving feelings.
It’s not over and you’re not crazy. Until that subtle force of energy you feel stops pushing you away, your love will find no place within their heart to dwell or stay.
We can be so cruel and we can also be so kind. The pendulum can swing at the drop of a dime. We don’t think. We jump to comment. We rush to fill the space with words. We push away the painful, uncomfortable feelings.
You know you spoke and acted without thinking, and you severely hurt the person who you love. You left deep and painful wounds etched in grooves within their heart, and now you do not have the key, you do not have the power it will take to bring the healing that they need.
They are the only ones now who have the magic tools to clear away the stone that guards their wounded heart. When, and if, it is ever safe to let you in, you will finally feel free. The gates will open wide to all the love you feel inside.
Until then, your deep abiding love will lie there trampled by the cruel traffic of life. When will love find a place of real, authentic rest within the mirror of ‘other’ as the same? Only when a miracle of love, grace, and forgiveness knocks firmly at the door, then you will love, and you will forgive ‘you’ better, too.
I only wish that we could all change the lenses through which we see each other. Eyes clear of judgment would make all the difference in heartfelt love and genuine forgiveness. Seeing each other with fresh, new eyes each day might just make the whole world sing in harmony.
Sometimes the lyrics of a song ring with the truth that we cannot find a way speak. The songwriter has ‘been there’ too and expressed the raw emotions in words and song for all the rest of us. We can choose to allow the music to create miraculous healing all the way deep into the the soul.
When the weight of the world is crashing down on you and I, we don’t need more classes, we don’t need more books, more parties, more friends, or more things to do. We need to shake it off! We need more ‘being in the moment,’ more music, more song, more dance and more conscious awareness!
“Make You Feel My Love” is a song written by Bob Dylan from his album Time Out of Mind (1997). It was first released commercially by Billy Joel, under the title “To Make You Feel My Love,” before Dylan's version appeared later that same year.
Two “Make You Feel My Love” YouTube videos, one by Bob Dylan and one by Adele, are provided below along with the lyrics.

MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there’s no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
[Chorus 1]
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
[Verse 2]
I would go hungry, I would go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
[Chorus 2]
The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
[Verse 3]
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Now there’s nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love
Blessings,
