Intellect and love are made of different materials. Intellect ties people in knots and risks nothing, but love dissolves all tangles and risks everything. Intellect is always cautious and advises, ‘Beware too much ecstasy,’ whereas love says ‘Oh, never mind! Take the plunge! Intellect does not easily break down, whereas love can effortless reduce itself to rubble. But treasures are hidden among ruins. A broken heart hides treasure.–Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love
Questions to sit with:
What is your relationship to the intellect?
What are you willing to risk to deepen your practice?
What’s your relationship to love?
Do you dare to be wild? I hope so…
