“Our heart’s desire goes on no matter what; it is awake even when we sleep. But when we accept the invitation to love, our minds must awaken to our hearts; we must sense our desire and know our intent. We may not know exactly how or why we are choosing, and we most certainly do not know what we are letting ourselves in for, but we need to realize our act of opening. The yes to love, chosen with immediate awareness and full responsibility in the absence of certain knowledge, is the most free and authentic thing a human being can do. It is what the human will was created for.
-Gerald G. May, The Awakened Heart, p. 49
