– St. Theresa of Avila
Author’s Notes
You pay God a compliment by asking great things of Him.
– St. Theresa of Avila
Now that the sun has set, I sit and rest and think of You. I blend Your world with mine, and my world with Yours.
It is not pride to have great desires. It is the devil who makes us think that the lives and actions of saints are to be admired but not imitated. If we do not limit our spiritual goals, we can with great confidence, little by little, reach those heights that by the grace of God many saints have reached. If they had never resolved to desire, and had never, little by little, acted upon that resolve, they would never have ascended so high.
– Theresa of Avila
I will not leave Him again, whether out of fear or love, I am done with the cycle. I am too old for that now. It has taken me too long to get here, and I have also wasted too much time.

Day by day
It feels just like being on a playground swing, the ones with the long, long chains that you can get going really good on-
Rising into the weightlessness of being close to the Divine…
Sinking back to humanity where you might hit the ground and break something,
Back up to the high, where you might just foolishly jump off in your need to be united.
God may work in mysterious ways, but He is not exactly subtle.
I’m very, very dizzy now. Thank’s Auriel. I know I asked for help with writing “A Very Secret Gift” but now I feel I can’t even go walk the dog.
