The heart itself is only a small vessel, yet dragons are there, and lions.
There are poisonous beasts, and all the treasures of evil.
There are rough and uneven roads;
there are precipices; but there is God and the angels.
Life is there, and the Kingdom; there too is light,
and there the apostles and heavenly cities, and treasures of Grace.
All things lie within that little space.

-Makarios, Desert Monk
