#vulnerability

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.

Live to the point of tears.

You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.

To be vulnerable is to be truly alive.

Tears come from the heart and not from the brain.

And when his wings enfold you yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.

To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

Darling, I am suffering, please help me.

A single sincere tear washes away years of accumulated dust from the spirit.

He who conceals his sickness from the healer cannot expect the medicine to work.

Open your hands, if you want to be held.
