"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even 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. To love is to be vulnerable."
~ C. S. Lewis
The other day I ate a Dove chocolate. Inside the wrapper was written, "Dare to love completely." Hmmm... why not? I dare you...

I do love that quote from CS Lewis. Hi Lady G. how are you. Looks like you've been busy with life since you haven't posted for a while. I pray all is well. And I do so enjoy reading about the love you share with your knight. It brings hope to those of us who are still waiting. Have a Merry Christmas, my friend.
I have to honestly say I have never read any of C.S.Lewis's books. He is my Still Waters' favorite author. I have read many of his quotes and I do like them. I think they are "deep", which, it something I'm not. I'm more of the whimsical and dreamer type. I don't come up with "deep" thoughts or sayings. LOL!
Many blessings to you this Christmas season and in the years to come...
