About This Quote

Nelson Mandela said: “There is nothing to save, now all is lost,but a tiny core of stillness in the heartlike the eye of a violet.” What is this tiny core that exists in your heart? It's the part of you that is still and quiet and weak and afraid and needy and longing. What does it want? What does it long for? What can it give you? A tiny core of stillness in the heart.
