“Love Is A Warrior’s Sword; Wherever It Cuts, It Gives Life, Not Death” ~ Dan Millman
Any sincere discussion about an open mind will ultimately lead to consideration of having an open heart because, after all, what we are really talking about is *being* open.
Dan Millman, one of my favorite authors and teachers, wrote:
“You haven’t opened your heart fully, to life, to each moment. The peaceful warrior’s way is not about invulnerability, but absolute vulnerability – to the world, to life, and to the Presence you felt. All along, I have shown you by example that a warrior’s life is not about imagined perfection or victory; it is about love. Love is a warrior’s sword; wherever it cuts, it gives life, not death.” (Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives – buy it; you’ll love it!)
Are you living with your heart wide open? How do you feel when both your mind and your heart are wide open? How have you felt when one or both have been shut down? How have you opened up when you have been unavailable?
