“In every heart there is a sanctuary safe and strong to heal the wounds…”- Billy Joel.
I am frequently struck that we carry our wounds and burdens from days gone by without adequately unpacking them in the sanctuary of the heart to be relieved and to learn from them. Those who have a partner or friend to share the joys, the grief, the slights and disappointments of life are truly blessed.
For others of us deep prayer and meditation are a means to unpack the heart and tidy up the soul a bit to find the new moments of joy and goodness in each person and each moment of a new day.
We all strive for that place “where my burdens may be heavy but my yoke is light”.
