Living in the Heart

[Oiran]

"The word 'courage' is very interesting. It comes from a Latin root 'cor,' which means "heart." So, to be courageous means to live with the heart. And weaklings, only weaklings, live with the head; afraid, they create a security of logic around themselves. Fearful, they close every window and door -- with theology, concepts, words, theories -- and inside those closed doors and windows, they hide.

The way of the heart is the way of courage. It is to live in insecurity; it is to live in love, and trust; it is to move in the unknown. It is leaving the past and allowing the future to be." ~Osho (Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously)
