Don't make a tragedy of a simple failure. Study your capabilities first, and if you have overrated their strength, try again, going more slowly. ~Minna Thomas Antrim _________________

In my garden I spend my days; in my library I spend my nights. My interests are divided between my geraniums and my books. With the flower I am in the present; with the book I am in the past. ~Alexander Smith _________________

"Real love is a leaping outside of the narrow confines of my needs and desires, and an embrace of the other’s good for the other’s sake. It is an escape from the black hole of the ego, which tends to draw everything around it into itself."

Robert Barron is an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. He is the founder of the Catholic ministerial organization Word on Fire. _________________ Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be - Grandma Moses (1860 - 1961) |

We live in an America that ever more starkly is divided between big, prosperous economic centers and decaying hinterlands.

A Wisdom way of knowing . . . requires the whole of one’s being and is ultimately attained only through the yielding of one’s whole being into the intimacy of knowing
and being known. . . . It doesn’t happen apart from complete vulnerability and self-giving.
