I like Marianne. It’s easy to joke about new-age gurus, but I have always liked her. This resonated with me today. The idea of holding on to an open and loving center.

It’s a goal.

I still fall short at times.

Not always. But at times.

“What’s difficult in life is to stay centered when somebody does or says something that tempts us to close our hearts because their heart was closed. That is hard.

But that is also how we grow. We go through those circumstances in order to evolve into people who can hold to our loving center no matter what the world throws us.”
