On the Path of Love, the Heart Breaks Open Again and Again

I was speaking to a friend who said, “if you keep living as you do, you’re going to have a lot of heartbreak in your life.” 

As a woman, that’s like saying, “if you keep inhaling and exhaling you’re going to have a lot of breathing.” 

Of course you are. 

On the path of love, the heart breaks open again and again.

You get space from that opening, not from amputating.

As with birth, a woman learns to continually dilate through the contractions.
