To Love Is to Be VulnerableTo love at all is be vulnerableLove anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken.If you want to make sure of keeping it intact,you must give it to no one,not even to an animal.Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements.Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin or 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 bo be vulnerable.
