the tender heart

mjd - 2013

in our (mistaken) attempt to guard the heart
against vulnerability 
and pain,


mjd - 2013

we can isolate it 
from tenderness
and connection.

  3. MJ - always hard to take risky steps but as you say we can isolate ourselves from a lot of love and joy is we don't risk a little pain. Beautiful image and thoughts. Go well. B
