Hearts in Armor

Introduction

"Vulnerability is the only authentic state. Being vulnerable means being open, for wounding, but also for pleasure. Being open to the wounds of life means being open to the beauty and bounty. Don't mask or deny your vulnerability: it is your greatest asset. Be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it. The new goodness that is coming to you, in the forms of people, situations, and things can can only come to you when you are vulnerable, i.e. open." --Stephen Russell
