The Day Nashville Cried… My Heart Opened
I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I know that there is a greater plan in place than we can’t wrap our small minds around. But we can wrap our heart around it.
When I hear of families suddenly without homes, small businesses washed away, and see pictures of the Grand Ole Opry submerged in water, my heart weeps. And then I see neighbors reaching out to one another, families put in situations that bring them closer, and even inmates working to their last breath to sandbag the water treatment plant, my heart opens.
As I mentioned in my previous article, Nashville is a healing city and will be a beacon of light on our Planet. And in fact the city is healing each and every one of us right now. Including myself. An immense clearing is taking place leaving all of us with our hearts wide open.
Over the last 48 hours, every hour or so, my heart will just well up. I have never felt so raw and open from my heart center than I do now. I realize just how connected I am with this land and community. Tears will suddenly emerge. The heart does not communicate in dualities and so the tears are not sad or happy, but simply those of love and oneness. And I know that so many of you are experiencing this as well.
We are all experiencing a massive heart opening.
Regardless of your role in this tragedy – as a flood victim, a relief worker, a sandbagger, a rescuer, a prayer, a healer, or just shedding a tear while watching the news – you are part of this profound heart opening that is raising the vibration of each one of us, our city, our nation, and our Planet at such an important time.
And this is the reason for it all.

Thank you for sharing Kellen… it is very beautiful.
And Nashville misses you too…
Thanks Kellen and your classmates for sharing your compassion. Just another example of the connectivity of everything and everyone… very beautiful.
I am glad I am not alone. I was one of the lucky ones who escaped the wrath. My neighborhood suffered from mostly basement flooding and while some lost sentimental items they are still thankful that it was not more. It is so beautiful to see people coming together to help each other! That flood has broken my own personal levee….. thank you Mother Nature!
Love and prayers, Tisha.
