Spring Leisure ~

Fell dead asleep this morning in the warm sunlight in the garden while trying to meditate, until a goldfinch came up close and twittered me awake.

Catholics and Protestants ~

He looked at me and said: If the Eucharist really is the Body of Christ, that is all the more reason to share it. If that is so, we should be welcoming everyone to the table.

Wise Old Monk ~

He said that I should realize that everything in my life fits in to the great inscrutable plan of God. There is nothing that is not as it should have been.

Hours ~

The fastest hour of the day is the one spent at the piano from nine until ten in the morning.

Living ~

No man is an island,
Entire of itself. . .

John Donne

No, it's the other way around: every man is an island, alone, and his life's labor is to cope with that.
