Tenderness and gratitude

Sunday, March 9th, 2014

I read this quote today and it stopped me in my tracks:

“Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep…feel it all – look around you- all of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.”

To get into the hows and whys of the significance is more than I care to do right now. It feels like everything is in a state of flux – but I want to hold this space, and I want to remember this.
