Bend or Break

“The glassblower knows: while in the heat of beginning,
any shape is possible.  Once hardened, the only way to change is to break.”  – Mark Nepo

This was today’s reading from The Book of Awakening – Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have

Imagine my surprise when I opened today’s reading and found this gentle reminder about possibilities if I only I can learn to yield to the heat.  Today I will focus on being more flexible and try my best not to harden and break.  After all isn’t it more important to have meaningful relationships with the people you love than to be right all the time?
