The Heart breaks open until it stays open to life - a hard thing to do in the face of such loss, violence and cruelty in the world. In much of my "wisdom" readings, I see this concept over and over again.
I know as I have aged so many of my shields to ward off the pain are disinegrating and my heart breaks over and over again is more unprotected. It has been said that keeping the heart open is the only way beauty and love can enter and the only way compassion and solace can be offered to those wounded and needy souls.
This morning a friend forwarded me pictures of a beautiful, young couple prior to his deployment
and dismemeberment. He may not be whole in body, but their love has survived and her comittment
to him is even stronger. As I scroll thru these pictures my heart is breaking once again and any small-minded problems I may have fall away in the face of this kind of open-hearted love. May we all keep our hearts open in this new year ahead and replace the fear and anger with love and trust. Namaste to all. Ginger
