If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom in your hands?
(Kahlil Gibran).
My house says to me,
“Do not leave me for here dwells your past.”
And the road says to me,
“Come and follow me, for I am your future.”
And I say to both my house and the road,
If I stay here, there is a going in my staying;
And if I go, there is a staying in my going …"
Kahlil Gibran

You may forget the one with whom you have laughed …
But never the one with whom you have wept.
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”

“Our dear Saint (Francois de Sales) disapproved of immoderate fasting. He used to say that the spirit could not endure the body when overfed, but that, if underfed, the body could not endure the spirit.”–Jean Pierre Camus
Be still my soul, thy God doth undertake,
To guide the future as He has the past,
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake,
All now mysterious shall be bright at last,
Be still my soul, the waves and winds still know,
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below
Amen
Katherine Von Schlegel
