Healing Broken Hearts

Dear friend, it is better to have a heart broken than lost. A broken heart still occupies its niche in your breast, and casts its broken light over body and soul. That light, however imperfect, still ensures each day's beauty, and beauty will attract beauty again and again. Let's sit for a while on the wood chips ringing this leafless maple tree, its branches wintry gray, no sap bringing new life. It is enough for now, until April rains descend and release the green energy locked in the ground, and earth blooms. Antaeus-like, we will touch the earth, and draw her strength within. All four hands palming the earth, we will look deeply into each other's eyes, and find the true dimensions of Love.
