Rest on the flight to Egypt - Claude Lorrain, 1644
Come to me,
all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest.

beauty
January 22, 2010Beauty does not linger, it only visits.
Yet beauty’s visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm,
it calls us to feel, think, and act beautifully in the world:
to create and live a life that awakens the Beautiful.
- John O’Donohue

this fragrant glow
January 12, 2010
Gold bugs, yellow butterflies, orange lilies.
What to do with this great fragrant glow?
Well, hold on to it.
You’ll want it in the days to come.

I can do nothing
January 11, 2010God can do everything
and I can do nothing.
But if I offer this nothing
in prayer to God,
everything becomes possible
in me.
