    Beautifully written and as Joe says above, very thought provoking. I guess a problem with a hard, protective shell only occurs if by allowing ourselves to become completely immersed in the myriad distractions of daily life, our attention fragments and neglects to tend that inner, soft part of ourselves so that we become unaware of a creeping ossification taking place as that shell grows ever thicker until it reaches our very hearts. One thing is for sure Kevin, that is not going to happen to you!
