ROWLAND'S HUT is a metaphor for belonging, acceptance, togetherness, safety, rescue, security, protection, significance, sanctuary & love. "A refuge for the weak, a shelter for the needy in distress" ""To give sanctuary is to bring endangered people into a place of shelter & protection"" ""To be sanctified is to be brought under the protection of God"" ""Deserts of the heart do exist. Perhaps there are fewer of them than we think. Isn't the Holy Spirit The Comforter in each one?"" (Brother Roger) Through the act of writing, I enter into an aspect of my Rowland's Hut by being productive, bringing all fragmented thoughts together to form a wholeness in purpose and expression. Within its walls, I am safe to examine this expression, allowing it to help heal my inner world, and to project my findings to the world outside. I hope that they will resonate in others, acting as an encouragement and a validation as to who we are before Man, but more importantly, before the God who loves us.
