Cherish Your Heart A woman I met in Washington gave me a gift. It was a beautiful heart, sculpted by her son, an artist. It was a mosaic of broken pieces, a heart covered with brake lines that had healed over and mended together. "My son made this," she said. "I want you to have it." I sanctuary for the gift. Now I keep it close. It's a reminder to keep my heart open. Keep your heart open. Take care lest life's problem shut you down. Your passion, enthusiasm, faith, and zest will disappear. Open your heart to all you meet. if it's not safe, you'll know. But don't close your heart. Just move in another direction. Don't worry about getting your heart broken. Sometimes that happens. Sometimes it's the price you pay for opening your heart, for taking the risk. But if it does happen, you can allow your heart to heal, then open it once again. Remember the sculpture. Let it remind you that, once healed, a broken heart is a beautiful work of art. Melody Beattie (1948 - ) Journey To The Heart πŸ“–
