Can we maintain an open heart in a world that frequently feels harsh, painful, and hard? Practicing loving kindness, we engage with everyone we encounter in the world, growing ever more open. We are encouraged to dive below our familiar identities and to meet the world directly: we have to keep it real. Are we brave enough to venture into the exciting wilderness of our own hearts?
