"Because the mind is always engaged with whatever is happening now, 

it often forgets who we are. 

The heart never forgets. 

Everything of significance is inscribed there. 

The heart is an archive of all our intimate memory. 

What is truly felt leaves the deepest inscription...."

~ John O'Donohue ~
