Heartbreak

[mazzie]

"My heart is broken. It has been broken for as long as I can remember, and I hope it never heals. The break in my heart is where other beings can enter, and where compassion moves out into the world. Heartbreak is a teacher, to be bowed to in gratitude. When we are intimate with heartbreak, not fearing it or trying to escape, we become kind. When we are intimate with death, not fearing it or trying to escape, we pay attention, and then everything is luminous and sacred, and nothing is ever mundane."
