It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance

Summary

This quote suggests that those who are too afraid of getting hurt or experiencing heartbreak are the ones who never truly learn to live fully and embrace the joys of life. It implies that only by taking risks and being vulnerable can one truly experience the beauty and fulfillment that comes from stepping outside their comfort zone. To dance in this metaphor signifies living life to its fullest, while the fear of breaking represents a defense mechanism that prevents people from truly embracing the unknown and pursuing happiness. It encourages individuals to let go of their fears and embrace life's uncertainties.

The boomerang hung in the sky, and the boy thought he would have to find a new word for the way the colours glowed. In the meantime, he looked down at the water and tried out the word he'd been taught by his grandfather, who'd been taught it by grandfather, and which had been kept for thousands of years for when it would been needed. It meant . It had, he thought, been well worth waiting for.
