How uncanny is this!
I had just read a passage from C.S. Lewis on love (last week), and later on (a few days ago) was reflecting on a gospel passage for Oxygen. In the end I included Lewis' passage in the day's reflection because it was very apt.
Then, today, I opened a Good News reflection my mum sent me, and there it was again, the exact quoted passage:
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and probably be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the coffin or casket of your selfishness."
~C.S. Lewis
I think it means...I have to ponder on what that passage says.

Do you happen to know the source of the C. S. Lewis quote you used. i found it also on Good News Ministries.
Hi!
Yes, C.S. Lewis writes this in "The Four Loves", a few pages into the chapter on Charity.
It is a book of many insights, I hope you get a chance to glean from it!
