John O'Donohue reflects on the existence of an inner sanctuary within everyone that remains untouched by life's struggles and pain. This place within each person is characterized by a sense of certainty, wholeness, and peace, untouched by external turmoil. It represents our true essence, where we can find solace amidst life's challenges.
O'Donohue suggests that by connecting with this inner sanctuary, we can cultivate confidence and tranquility. This profound inner space serves as a reminder of our resilience and the enduring strength we possess, encouraging us to nurture and return to this inner calm when faced with difficulties.
