The Lost Heart

"[Our] original shimmering self gets buried so deep we hardly live out of it at all...rather, we learn to live out of all the other selves which we are constantly putting on and taking off like coats and hats against the world's weather." Frederick Buechner

"The heart does not respond to principles and programs; it seeks not efficiency, but passion. Art, poetry, beauty, mystery, ecstacy: These are what rouse the heart. Indeed, they are the language that must be spoken if one wishes to communicate with the heart." John Eldredge

Would you say your heart is free? Do you paint? Write poetry? Play an instrument? Dance? Play?
