Thinking tonight about how alone and not alone I am. How powerless and powerful I (we?) are in the face of insurmountable odds to save us all. I am facing a tsunami, remembering that I am also mostly water. I have no words of motivation. I cannot weave a linguistic spell to bring hope. But I hope nonetheless.

“Here, on the pulse of this new day
You may have the grace to look up and out
And into your sister’s eyes, and into
Your brother’s face, your country
And say simply
Very simply
With hope—
Good morning.”

Quote of the day, 7 September: St. John of the Cross
In the measure that the memory becomes dispossessed of things, in that measure it will have hope, and the more hope it has the greater will be its union with God; for in relation to God, the more a soul hopes the more it attains. And it hopes more when, precisely, it is more dispossessed of things; when it has reached perfect dispossession it will remain with perfect possession of God in divine union.
But there are many who do not want to go without the sweetness and delight of this knowledge in the memory, and therefore they do not reach supreme possession and complete sweetness. For whoever does not renounce all possessions cannot be Christ’s disciple [Lk 14:33].

Happy news this morning - been dealing with a mild health scare for the past 3 months. Happy to report that - whatever else is going wrong in my life - my heart is doing okay. Feeling grateful this morning.
