“The heart is the inner face of your life. The human journey drives to make this inner face beautiful. It is here that love gathers within you. Love is absolutely vital for a human life. For love alone can awaken what is divine within you. . . When you learn to love and to let your self be loved, you come home to the hearth of your own spirit. You are warmed and sheltered.” — John O’ Donohue
Heart opens, and a river of light begins to pour in.
In a story of two travelers, there is violence, the old cruelty of a desert and its men. Yet there is also a fragment of the travelers crossing a river together. One saving another. Their soaked bodies emerging on the far bank, breathless, shivering, eyes meeting in a moment, the shared sight, the relief.
Love is all there is. It destroys the pain and the trauma. It is quiet and mad. It saves the poorest in me. Let it find you again and again.
