“If you’re really listening, if you’re awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold ever more wonders.” ~ Andrew Harvey (born 1952)
Harvey is a British author and religious scholar.
According to Wikipedia, Harvey is “the founder of the Sacred Activism movement. He serves as Director of the Institute of Sacred Activism.”

I find that to be very interesting. In my blog posts I have been using quotes from activists and have been discussing the work of activists.
