To Live from the heart or Jump Off A Cliff, That Is The Question

I'm double blogging because this one is easy, breezy and it's a Sunday so I have more time...love fortune is I love how you live from the heart.  And that is true whether my heart is happy or not...I kind of wear it on my sleeve.  Some people may call it sloppy but I call it honest and the only way I know.  Without much thinking, the following immediately came to mind:

This one, I really love...I can't remember who to credit for sharing it with me, but I know it's from Matt Groenig's Life in Hell.  This is sadly true, that some people would rather jump off the cliff than share intimacy and vulnerability (which is the ultimate courage).  Also ironic because I believe that life is bliss if you let it, so I guess it can feel like your in hell too if you let it.  But I also like Winston Churchill's quote, "If you find yourself in hell, keep going."  So perhaps that is a jump off the cliff, but then again that's what the wisdom of the fool and his leap of faith in the Tarot represents...so perhaps intimacy is like jumping off the cliff but if we're luck we land on a pile of feathers and don't go squish.
