"There are two ways of spreading light;
to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."

The Encouragement of Light
How did the rose ever open its heart
and give to this world all of its beauty?
It felt the encouragement of Light against its being;
otherwise we all remain too frightened.

PACEM on a Winter Night
From my Pacem in Terris journal, Friday, February 6, 2009
St. Margaret Mary Hermitage
...I want to back up a bit to last night (2/5/09) and mention what an absolutely beautiful night it was (the night I arrived).
It was a crisp cold, very clear sky, revealing plentiful stars and a beautiful not-quite-full moon. The shadows of the trees on the snow were stunningly lovely. All was calm, peaceful, and bright.
