Ultimately, I am not afraid of any authority, spiritual or temporal. I am not afraid of the god, the government, or the corporation. I am not afraid of the terrorist or the criminal. I am not afraid of any principality or power in heaven or earth. What I really fear is my own heart, my infinite capacity for tenderness.
I fear the terrifying softness of surrender to love. Yet that tenderness is my deepest strength. And I would never be emboldened to recognize this paradox, vulnerability and power at the very heart of my humanity, unless I met a living person who embodied and lived it with each breath. This is the role of the Master in my life.
