This one made me cry. I suppose my heart is especially open this week, and especially to this... It is hard, it is painful. I feel gratitude to live so close to my grandmother now (she's in a retirement home near me) and to be part of her life.<br /><br />"It is that clenching in the most tender of places that creates so much of our unnecessary suffering."<br /><br />Beautiful... Such a good reminder, that I can stopping fighting my grief about various things and just allow the tender-heartedness.

Beautiful!<br /><br />I was just reflecting on that after I wrote the post. Thinking about the opposite experience, of feeling so much joy from having experienced open heart.

Having an open heart to receive what is present in this moment. So often the heart is clenched, like the jaw is clenched, and I am completely unaware of it. It is the shutting of the heart that hurts. <br />Thank you for this post.Colleen Loehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048649046228516513noreply@blogger.com
