Simplicity

I recently looked through my books to see who has been 'left behind' so to speak. The book that looked good, but whose pages are not worn and torn. Pages that aren't even smudged by being read cover to cover, even once!

A small paperback, "'Simplicity' The Freedom of Letting Go" by Father Richard Rohr is now on my desk. Instead of promising to soak up every word and nuance, I thought that I would 'simply' read it. What I need to take from this unassuming book, will step from the pages.

"These are only hints and guesses,
  Hints followed by guesses;
  And the rest is prayer, observance, discipline,
  Thought and action.
  The hint half guessed, the gift half understood,
  Is Incarnation."

                                              "The Dry Savages," T.S.Elliot

Moving On....

Noticed this posted on a friend's computer desk:

"It's time to move on
   because your past can't be your passion.
So what if you've done
    something wrong?
Find someone who hasn't.
