Risks

I'm not a risk-taker. In fact, I like things pretty safe and predictable. Kind of dull, huh? I've improved a lot in the last few years, but still have lots of room to improve. A work in progress...aren't we all? When talking about risk recently, someone suggested this little reading, so I thought I would share:

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable." ~ CS Lewis

Not trying to get too deep. Just a good reminder that the consequence of not risking vulerability or the possibility of beng hurt can sometimes hurt even more.
