Just sit. Notice where you feel hard, and sit with that. In the middle of that hardness, you’ll find anger, sit with that. Go to the center of the anger and you’ll probably come to sadness. Stay with the sadness until it turns to vulnerability. Keep sitting with what comes up; the deeper you dig, the more tender you become. Raw fear can open into the wide expanse of genuineness, compassion, gratitude, and acceptance in the present moment. A tender heart appears naturally when you are able to stay present. From your heart, you can see the true pigment of the sky. You can see the vibrant yellow of the sunflower …. A tender heart doesnt block out rainclouds, or tears, or dying sunflowers. Allow both beauty and sadness to touch you. This is love not fear
