A quite warm and tender place

Macrina Wiederkehr
May 2018 (Vol. XXXI, No. 5)
Today my prayer consisted in simply going to my heart and remembering all the folks I've stored there. It is not cold storage. It is a quite warm and tender place.

Quote of the Day

When the two shall become one
the one is still the two:
sound and silence together thrill the flute —
Each heart must have its mind or the circle is not true.
When the One has seen the Other —
a voice not his, a passion not hers —
together in God they are now, as such,
written on a single page in lines not made to touch.

~ from THE POET OF TOLSTOY PARK by Sonny Brewer
