Mindful Monday
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of 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 to be vulnerable ~ CS Lewis, The Four Loves
I LOVE C.S. Lewis. Thanks for this beautiful quote of his.

Very appropriate message today, Marie. Our four-year-old great-grandson was run over by a truck yesterday, airlifted to the hospital, and is in ICU. He is badly injured, but there have been some encouraging signs today.
