A Fresh Covering ~

“Those who contemplate

 the beauty of the earth

 find reserves of strength that

 will endure as long as life lasts.

 There is something infinitely healing

 in the repeated refrains of nature --

 the assurance that dawn comes after night,

 and spring after winter.”

Rachel Carson

"God with us"

Isaiah 7:14

Somewhere we know that

 without silence

 words lose their meaning,

 that

 without listening

 speaking no longer heals,

 that

 without distance

closeness cannot cure.

Henri Nouwen
