Darkness

“The darker the night, the brighter the stars, the deeper the grief, the closer is God” Fyodor Dostoevsky
Suffering with God
Purity of intention

“The ultimate obscenity is not caring, not doing something about what you feel, not feeling! Just drawing back and drawing in, becoming narcissistic.” Rod Serling
Disinterested love
Holy Spirit

“He pours light into our minds, arouses our desire and gives us strength… As the soul is the life of the body, so the Holy Spirit is the life of our souls.” —St. Peter Damian
Feast of the Holy Spirit
Fraternal correction

“If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance who is harmed.” Marcus Aurelius
Accepting criticism?
My latest poem

Grey skies and heavy rain?
Drops on your window pane?
Cabin fever…migraine?
So easy to complain!
Go for a run…it will cool you down!
Walk with an umbrella…you won’t drown!
Visit Jesus…at your church in town!
Carry your own weather…please don’t frown!
