A Parable

A passage from The Gospel of Mary Magdalene by Jean-Yves Leloup, p. 69:

A woman was looking for her lost jewels in the village square. The other villagers wished her well and were trying to help her find this treasure in the area in and around the square. They had been searching fruitlessly for some time, when someone asked her: “But exactly where did you lose this treasure?”

“I lost it in my home,” the woman answered.

“But are you crazy? If you lost it in your home, why are you having us help you search out here in the square?”

“And you, my friend,” she replied, “is this not what you are always doing, searching for your treasure in the streets, in the square, when it is really in your own home that you lost what you most want? Don’t you go everywhere in vain search of peace and happiness, your greatest treasure, which you have lost in your own home? In your own heart—that is where you must search. It is there that your treasure has always been waiting to be found.”

You write it: During this time of more time at home, what are you finding to be true for you?
