Listen, my friend, this road is the heart opening —Mirabai

.

There is a profound ground of unity that is more pertinent and authentic than all the unilateral dimensions of our lives. This we discover when we keep open the door of our heart. 

This is one’s ultimate responsibility, and it is not dependent upon whether the heart of another is kept open for us.

—Howard Thurman

Stay Open

.    .    .

The heart breaks and breaks and lives by breaking
it is necessary to go through
dark and deeper dark
and not to turn 

—Stanley Kunitz
