The Language of the Heart: Lessons from My Mother’s Pain

True understanding does not come from the mind, from thoughts alone.

It comes from the heart, from feeling it. From living it.

From being it.

How much you've suffered, how much you carried, how much you feared.

All that acidic pain you've carried around in your body...

There is nothing else to cure your fear than infinite love and patience.
