I heard a four-word phrase the other day that stirred something deep within me: “an oasis of sanity.” The phrase was so simple, yet I think it captures a rather common longing many of us share. We find ourselves surrounded by chaos, crisis and confusion and we desire a haven. Where we might find shelter, a soulful space to escape the daily craziness? Today’s fast paced world often feels like it is spinning out of control. We often experience ourselves disheartened, disconnected and discombobulated, unmoored amidst all the noise. Much like a desert, we can encounter a profound sense of emptiness and isolation. Where might we come upon an oasis to regain a modicum of sanity at least temporally?
