This short video meditation talks about the meaning of Lent. It suggests a serious and sacred return to an ancient intuition that our bodies are Temples sheltering something incredibly sacred. The video ends with a short reminder of who we are in the most expansive scheme of things. It uses the soundtrack, A broken heart, from the movie Ladies in Lavender. I think its appropriate because often a broken heart - at its best - is also an open heart.
In the Judeo-Christian tradition there is also this sturdy conviction mouthed through the poetry of the Psalms that God is very close to those whose hearts are broken - God is like medicine to those whose spirits are crushed (see Psalm 34:18)
