Wednesday of Holy Week: a good week to remember that in times of darkness and confusion especially, keeping can help us recall our experiences of wisdom, love and guidance.

Otherwise, they are buried by the mundane, derided by the inner skeptic, left orphaned by the lack of 'logical explanations.'"
