"THE BLESSING OF SOLITUDE under the tall pines, in the cool of early morning.
The blessing of sawing wood, cutting grass, cleaning house, washing dishes.
The blessing of a quiet, alert, concentrated, fully present meditation.
The blessing of God's presence and guidance.
I am very aware of the meaning of faith and fidelity, and of the implications of the relationship they establish. This place is marked with the blessed sign of my covenant with Him Who has redeemed me.
May I never fail this goodness, this mercy!"
Thomas Merton
The beauty of solitude...to sit quietly by His feet...to have His words resonating in our minds as we look about our spaces and see the blessings...oh, too many to count.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture Trish. I really like the title of this place. Without HIM there is no simplicity.
Peace to you today,
Maria
