Opening the heart (Jan Warner / Dalai Lama)

 

There is comfort in acceptance.
There is unexpected growth
of seedlings of life if we take
the risk of opening ourselves up.

--Jan Warner 

    When the heart is closed, it leads to fear, stress and anger. Nurturing the idea of the oneness of humanity has the effect of opening the heart. When you think of all other human beings as your brothers and sisters it’s easy to communicate with them all. 

--Dalai Lama, Courageous Compassion
