We love with all our heart, in every way that we can love but the heart is not burdened. We learn to keep it light and pliable. It has space. It breathes. It waits on Life to give instructions. It sings with sweetness when the winds are soft and warm. It stands with calm patience when the storm is brewing. It lets go when death and seeming endings have left their irrefutable mark. It moves. It heals. It hopes. It allows Life to be lived in the safe, fertile, and still inner space where it grows stronger and more compelling every day. Donna Goddard
About This Quote

The heart is a muscle, and like all muscles it will grow tired from overuse. Like a muscle, the heart can be strengthened with exercise. It can be made stronger with a healthy diet and regular exercise. The heart can also be strengthened by being given a task that requires the full force of the body.

A person who is strong in mind and spirit will learn to give their input on what tasks they would like to undertake. The heart will, with each task carried out, become even stronger and work even more firmly together with the mind.
