Your heart knows the truth of openness and suffers the tense lie of your closure.
DAVID DEIDAWhen you are in love with a man or a woman, the love you feel does not come from him or her; it is the love flowing from you own heart that you feel. Your partner is simply giving you an excuse to love. Love is always found flowing in your heart, not in your family, lover, career or art.
