Taking risks


Though we may think we are protecting ourselves

by keeping a wall around our hearts,

what we are actually doing is

blocking our blessings (love, trust, friendship...)

It's not until we take the risk to lay down our swords,

drop our defenses, and open our hearts,

that we truly feel a deep sense of connection

to our surroundings and to others.
