Carry your heart with care

Princess, there was once a philosopher in Denmark called Knud. E. Løgstrup.

He was this really nice man, and a hero of sorts. When we were fighting in the Second World War, he was in the council of the freedom fighters.

He had this beautiful wife called Rosemary. Rosemary was originally German, so you could imagine how this was problematic for Knud.

One day the soldiers came to the home of the philosopher to ask for him, and his wife was home, and she was German.

So she was divided in loyalty to the Germans and her husband.

This was a bit of a crisis for the Løgstrups, and Knud thought a lot about it.

He has this beautiful saying about those that you love. You carry them in your hands.

This is kind of the tradition in Denmark about these things. “Take care about my heart, because it carries no weapons” a popular song goes.

That is really true in a way, trust, openness mercy are things we want in our relationship. But to have those things, we need to carry that heart with care. The heart doesn’t carry any weapons, as the song goes.

So I guess my idea is, that I have to be careful, because your openness and trust is vulnerable. The same goes for me.

We have to carry each others heart with care.

G-d bless the will to be careful about how the other feels about this.
