New Moon Reflection

Even though it is often very painful, keeping an open heart toward the world and relating out of love is absolutely vital.  Love is the essence of the gifts we bring to this world; if we do not relate out of love, we do not give ourselves the opportunity to be who we are and to do what will most fulfill us.  Know that your heart will be fatigued by the pain and the sorrow it is bound to encounter.  Instead of using this as an excuse to stay closed, use it as the motivation to find practices that renew and refresh your heart.
