One is to imagine the heart broken into shards and scattered about--a feeling most of us know, and a fate we would like to avoid. The other is to imagine the heart broken open into new capacity--a process that is not without pain but one that many of us would welcome. As I stand in the tragic gap between reality and possibility, this small, tight fist of a thing called my heart can break open into greater capacity to hold more of my own and the world's suffering and joy, despair and hope."<br /><br />-Parker Palmer, A hidden wholeness: The journey toward an undivided life.Kaylenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01742691751492054296noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105744677744353010.post-80785428979665134412009-04-30T12:17:00.000-07:002009-04-30T12:18:05.063-07:00How do you wake up Lady GaGa?<div style="text-align: center;">----Poke Her Face----<br /></div>Kaylenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01742691751492054296noreply@blogger.com1
