What is a shutter? Something on a camera? Something you put on the outside of your windows to keep the storm from destroying your home. Something you do when you don't like something... shutter... hmmmmm NOPE that would be shudder (smiles). Seriously though... what is the purpose of a shutter.
In a camera it opens and closes and allows a certain amount of light in so the photographer captures that oh so perfect picture. Captures the essense of the eye - what the photographer is viewing. A shutter (sometimes called storm shutters) are used to keep the storm out. Protection. A safe haven.
As I venture through this life I have seen a different kind of shutter, it's not in the dictionary, it's not even something you can diagram out or put your hands on,however it exists. It's the shutter to the heart. A powerful and sometimes self-destroying mechanism. A shutter to the heart. Like a window to the heart but with a great big bolt on it. Working much like the photographers shutter - only letting in what the heart wants to see or feel, or what the heart has viewed as "okay".
What does that do to mankind though? How does that help. How is that helpful if the heart-shutter only lets in what that particular heart views as "okay" or "safe".
