An open heart can accept anything, because it does not judge anything or anyone.
It see's beyond the world of judgements and emotion and realizes a wise and gentle force of existence is behind it all, therefore it does not walk alone.
It is priviledged to commune with the universe and receive guidance from it.
It knows that pleasure and pain are both a part of the plan and accepts them as equals.
We do not grow in conscious awareness unless we embrace all pain and learn the lesson contained in it.
Every incident in our life is a test to see if we have the courage to embrace it with an open heart, trusting a higher wisdom to be revealed or are we stuck in the world of judgements and emotions going round and round in deep despair.
We have a choice to make in life. Do we internalize our pain, stuff it deep within until our health is harmed or do we go within to release it forever.
