To Love Is To Be Vulnerable

Here are some wise words from old C.S. Lewis and some excellent insights from dear Brene Brown. I desperately needed to hear this.

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. 

Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken

If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. 

Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. 

Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. 

But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change

It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. 

To LOVE is to be vulnerable."
