Pieces of My Heart

If you have loved many, do not say, ‘My heart lay in pieces along the path of my life.’ 

Rather say, ‘my heart has been nourished at many tables; it has been warmed and sheltered in those homes, and has drunk deeply from the wells there.’  

Consider not just what you left at these tables, but also what you brought away.  An open heart will heal, and the warm memories of past feasts will continue to fulfill and nourish you through your lifetime.
