Merton, Buechner, Nouwen; Gibran, Tolstoy, Frankl, and Hafiz. A handful

I list but there are more to fill rivers and valleys with words and statements. All

of them worthy of repeat. Or at least of a moments pause.

Who am I to do anything more than read along, pause and

go about my day with the dog, the birds, and the sky open

wide?
