Firmly rooted in the Word of Jesus, reading the Gospel every day, never stop dreaming of a land where there is peace and fraternity, nor stop looking at the world with wonder, nor stop facing the future with the light of hope. Do not let anything or anyone steal your hope.
"What name is there for the color that arouses
this thirst, which says,
the saga can happen, even to you—"
-- from "Strange Sea" by Edith Södergran, translated from the Swedish by Averill Curdy
“Learn to reverence night and to put away the vulgar fear of it, for, with the banishment of night from the experience of man, there vanishes as well a religious emotion, a poetic mood, which gives depth to the adventure of humanity.” — Henry Beston, The Outermost House
“It's the sea I want,
If it's not too late
To sit, and contemplate
The hard bright barbarous jewels
Of the totally indifferent sea:
Something I never made
And cannot be guilty of.”
— Elma Mitchell

Equal strain on all parts
Whatever course you set
It'll ease the pain on backs and brains and hearts
It's a solid thing to wish for
It's the wrong thing to forget
Lying in this hammock now
It sure feels good to get
An equal strain on all parts
Don't forget the #TolkienBirthdayToast tonight! tolkiensociety.org/events/to…

According to my watch the time is now
The past is dead and gone
Don’t try to shake it just nod your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Year in and year out, these slow reads are absolutely wonderful. 📚 If you have never tried to read carefully a classic book in small, daily pieces, I highly recommend giving it a try. We tee up Anna Karenina tomorrow.
