To love is to be vulnerable.
Love anything and your heart will certainly be
wrung. And possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you
must give your heart to no one. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little
luxuries. Avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of
your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark motionless, airless – it will
change. It will not be broken. It will become unbreakable, impenetrable… irredeemable. “To love
is to be vulnerable.” – CS Lewis
