Dear Friends,
Today, we have a guest writer, spiritual writer, Evelyn Underhill, via my friend, Magrey deVega; you'll find it very helpful:
"Consider that wonderful world of life in which you are placed, and observe that its great rhythms of birth, growth and death - all the things that really matter - are not in your control. That unhurried process will go forward in its stately beauty, little affected by your anxious fuss. Find out, then, where your treasure really is. Discern substance from accident. Don't confuse your meals with your life, and your clothes with your body. Don't lose your head over what perishes. Nearly everything does perish: so face the facts, don't rush after the transient and unreal. Maintain your soul in tranquil dependence on God; don't worry; don't mistake what you possess for what you are. Accumulating things is useless. Both mental and material avarice are merely silly in view of the dread facts of life and death...The simpler your house, the easier it will be to run. The fewer the things and the people you 'simply must have,' the nearer you will be to the ideal of happiness - 'as having nothing, to possess all.' "(from The House of the Soul and Concerning the Inner Life)
Love and prayers,
Dan
