We are called to travel the road between our hearts and minds and while it seems as though it should be as simple as walking the path we do not know what we will encounter. Sometimes the fortress around our hearts is much like the one Prince Phillip encountered when he reached the bridge to rescue Sleeping Beauty from the castle of her sleep.  He needed to cross the bridge before he could rescue her.  The bridge was covered with thorny bushes and was guarded by the dragon Maleficent.  He had to find a way to bridge the strength of his mind and the courage of his heart to cross the bridge to his beloved.  It means creating a bridging within to complete the distance.  The beauty of our hearts is that God has provided the materials to build the bridge.  The bridging is God’s hand in helping us to open the door to give and receive love.  If we rely on the tools God provides for us we will have what we need to complete the journey.  The dragons and the thorns fall away and we are able to open up the entrance to our hearts.
