The Human Heart

​There is a story about some jealous angels who are asked to hide the spark of the Divine in the world.

"Let's put it atop the highest mountain," offers one.

"No," says another," the Human is very ambitious. He will find it there."

 "Well then, let's bury it beneath the deepest sea."

"That won't work either," another chimes in. "The Human is very resourceful. She will even find it there."

After a moment's thought the wisest angel says, "I know. Put it inside the Human heart. They will never look there."
