We take a risk when we open our hearts because the truth is, if we open our hearts, we will get hurt. You can't open your 

heart and not have some hurt because you're in a human  

experience. Even if it's the love of your life and you have  

many wonderful, deepening, growing, powerful years 

together, it's a human experience, and that person will 

pass over.  Love takes courage.  

Be courageous.
