A Womans Heart....

I was just watching the Titanic.. It was on & I just couldnt force myself to change the channel. The kids were sleeping as is Pat...and I found myself to be overly emotional for a movie I have seen about a million times. Then there was one line that hit me...

" A womans heart is a deep ocean of secrets"

I dont think any one line could be more true. Women think with there hearts, we smile with them, love with them & hurt with them. I think if a man or anyone for that matter could look inside a womans heart for even a moment they would be surprised as to what they find. Would they realize that they dont  know this person so well? Probably I think because, I know that I dont know myself so well at times. Would they be surprised by what they found? I know I am surprised by the occasional memory that is triggered by any number of random things.  Would they be amazed at the secrets we keep locked up in our hearts so well? Secrets that we ourselves dont even realize we are keeping in them at times. Would our secrets hurt or heal? Would it be beneficial for someone to be able to know what you keep there? I dont know, at times yes, maybe it would be.

I know there are secrets in my heart, secrets that I repress because they are too painful, secrets that I pull out from time to time just to take myself someplace else for a moment, secrets that I am grateful are mine and secrets that I wish one day to share with my daughters so that they can understand their mother better and really know who I am or was... Yes a womans heart is a deep ocean of secrets.... I think we need it to be that way... I know I do.
