Poem "Idle comfort dips into treacherous waters. When the faculties are at rest and the soul is at peace; When the body is at ease and emotions find equipoise. When lack of anxiety, worry, or pain, finds its home; when there is no constraint. When the psyche finds it's calm; The physical basks in strength; … Continue reading A Moment Of Peace

The Chaos In Silence!
"Who am I kidding?" I said after 20 minutes of sitting still. I had my journal, my bible, my Divine Office but all in vain. Not one of these could stop my wandering mind.

Who Am I?
Be who God made you to be and you will set the world on fire" (St. Catherine of Sienna ). I was once convinced that a good description of me was "free spirit".
