There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. The cracks show up in your dreams, the connections in what you speak about week to week. I listen for what your inner Self is trying to communicate, what you don't know you don't know. You can say anything in the room, or nothing. The breaking open of the heart allows the love in.
