What has overwhelm on one side
can have joy on the other,
for the soul desires to be free
and to live in wholeness,
but the burdens must be felt
in order to be laid down
at the feet of the Divine.
It is often in pursuit of the sacred
that the burdens must be carried
forward.
Then, they can be placed
at the feet of the One
who turns all burdens into light,
and makes of all challenges a
sacred offering.
