Young Diana Spencer and her guinea pig, Peanuts. Photo credit: Spencer Family.The secret church
where Our Lady worships,
called the Far Palace,
is not built of earth
and water and stone,
but of intention and wisdom,
mystical conversation
and compassionate action.
Every part of it is intelligence
and responsive to every other.
The carpet bows to the broom.
The door knocker and the door
swing together
like musicians.
This heart sanctuary does exist.
But it can't be described.
Why try!
-- Rumi
