The lighter side of dark…

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to 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.” – C.S. Lewis
Comments welcome from those with broken, wounded, sore or mended and healed hearts…
“We talk of ‘true’ love… but what is true love if not that which emanates whole and holy from deep inside our own hearts for ourselves and then only can the Beloved be Be-loved” (my quote)…
Write me your stories and I’ll write you mine… So who’s to be first..?
