“I will praise the Lord who counsels me;

even at night my heart instructs me.”

The day is winding down beautifully, again.

““O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;

my eyes are not raised too high; I

do not occupy myself with things

too great and too marvelous for me.

But I have calmed and quieted my

soul, like a weaned child with its mother;

like a weaned child is my soul within me.

O Israel, hope in the Lord from this time

forth and forevermore.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭131‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God, which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes of our life, which is inaccessable to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will. This little point of nothingness and of absolute poverty is the pure glory of God in us."

Thomas Merton

“everything is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him.”
