"Let me seek, then, the gift of silence, and poverty, and solitude, where everything I touch is turned into prayer: where the sky is my prayer, the birds are my prayer, the wind in the trees is my prayer, for God is all in all."
Thomas Merton in

Jeanie, this is beautiful. I'm going to start a file called "Quotes from Jeanie's blog"! They're always great.
Hope you're gifted with these things this weekend, friend.
Wonderful quote Jean! Thank you for sharing it!
I have another Merton quote for you : “But the question of love is one that cannot be evaded. Whether or not you claim to be interested in it, from the moment you are alive you are bound to be concerned with love, because love is not just something that happens to you: it is a certain special way of being alive. Love is, in fact, an intensification of life, a completeness, a fullness, a wholeness of life.” - Thomas Merton

Have a Blessed Weekend!
