“We can always begin again.” Sharon Salzberg
He Knew He closed his eyes watching the heavy laden dark cloud, he knew it would rain down drowning torrents in his heart, only this time he refused to barricade and resist waiting for the first trickle to knock, so he opened the door and took strength in surrender. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
