                                          Stay close
                                       
                                                    to anything

        On the Sabbath

       try and make no noise

       that goes beyond you house.

       Cries of passion between lovers

       are exempt.
                                     Thomas Aquinas

                                                                     ****


                                                  My Lord told me a joke.

                                                                       And seeing Him laugh

                                                                                              has done more for me

                                                                                                          than any scripture

                                                                                                                       I will ever read.

                                                                     ****

                                                 A good gage of spiritual health

                                                            is to write down

                                               the three things you want the most.

                                                      If they in any way differ,

                                                          you are in trouble.

  otherwise.                                                                                                 Theresa of Avila
