What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind. Too often, our world is divisive and cruel where it needs to be uniting and loving.

Alicia Keys

Georgia Douglas Johnson

Gautama Buddha

Dysphagia is the medical term for not being able to swallow, and I know that there are two kinds of dysphagia: oropharyngeal and esophageal. But maybe there is also a third kind of dysphagia that comes when your heart breaks into pieces. I can't swallow because I have that kind.
