Undefended Heart

“With an undefended heart, we can fall in love with life over and over every day. We can become children of wonder, grateful to be walking on earth, grateful to belong with each other and to all of creation. We can find our true refuge in every moment, in every breath.” – Tara Brach

“One of the most beautiful gifts in the world is the gift of encouragement. When someone encourages you, that person helps you over a threshold you might otherwise never have crossed on your own.”― John O’Donohue, Eternal Echoes: Celtic Reflections on Our Yearning to Belong

Awakening fresh and new to each day.
Frame of reference.
Guard down.
Thankful and full heart.
To give and receive encouragement, without reserve.
Crossing thresholds together on the journey.
Grace overflowing.

“Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” – Voltaire
