Abstract
I have loved these words for decades. They bespeak the mystery and majesty of the human heart. And they convey, with quiet power, the experience of being turned inside-out. It is a quiet thing, something that happens in the deep places within, sometimes when we least expect. And it is a thing of power, a tectonic shift that realigns what we thought we knew—about ourselves, about one another, about the world, sometimes about life itself.
“All changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.”
W. B. Yeats1
