Opening copyright 1987 by Tracy Marks Because I have been closed this past year, the difficulty each time I open my heart is that every moment of experiencing love is deeply entangled with the willingness to experience pain. Whatever has been locked inside, whatever anger, fear or suffering has wrapped itself around the love within me, is released into my consciousness. Only as I feel the anguish that is buried inside me and let it go do I awaken to and expand my capacity to love again. Only through opening, only through journeying through that darkness and experiencing it fully, can I free myself from its fearful hold upon me and enter into light.
