Open your hearts. Deep inside ourselves, we are all one and the same.
We can't protect ourselves from pain and heartache.
My son is now fourteen, and from the moment he was born, I understood that forevermore my heart would be walking around outside my body.
We can't protect ourselves from pain and heartache. In fact, to love - fully, madly, deeply - is the ensure heartache some day.
Part of my spiritual work is learning to live with the knowledge that we can't protect our loved ones from pain and heartache.
