RE: The Girl Who Loved Too Much : Remembering Our Childlike Magic & Healing
What a well written post, it truly flows effortlessly through different facets and landscapes of the point that has been made.
"Even if we love people, sometimes we have to hide it from them so they don't feel overwhelmed." Totally agree. This can be seen in children, but also in adults. When grown up this feeling is even more rare, and once you feel it and try to convey it to another person, most it will completely overwhelm. At least that was my experience.
And yes we have to keep our heart in good shape, if we dont care for it, it will close down. And the longer it stays closed the more painful it gets to open it up again. This is a process we have to go through again and again.
I hope the older I grow the more I can remain with an open heart, strong enough to hold a vessel for all the overwhelming feelings, that being that open brings with it.
thank you kindly for your great reply.
yes so true. opening our hearts (again and again as you say) is the journey of a lifetime. subtle reminders gently invite us to remember this over and over. living calloused with a closed heart... why? why do it...? this journey of life is so much more satisfying connecting on that level. indeed!
i'm with you there! totally!! xo
