The human heart is surely a most precious and mysterious reality. It can be strong and yet it can be hurt. It can open and yet it can close. It can include others in love and yet it can exclude others because of fear. Such polarities need not discourage us. Instead they can point us to our splendid evolutionary task: We humans are here to go beyond fear and limitation so we can become ever more open to love. Indeed, we were given a lifetime just for that.
