"An avalanche of tenderness ... the world so far away a ghost / Ashes / mirror
Break the chains -- Be free
Christ always with us, as a crown which we wear, as a friend at our side.
Christ be with me.
Christ before me.
Christ behind me.
Christ in me.
Christ beneath me.
Christ above me.
Christ on my right. Christ on my left.
Christ in the heart. Thirsting. We thirst.
Flood our souls with Your Spirit and Life
So completely / That our lives may only be a reflection of Yours.
Shine through us /Show us how to seek you / We were made to see you.
December 29, 2020 movie treasure for the senses
"Everywhere you are present / And I still can't see you / You're with me / Around me / And I have no experience of you. Not as I once did. / Why don't I hold onto what I've found? / My heart is cold..."
"Flood our souls with your spirit and life . . . so completely that our lives may only be a reflection of yours. Shine through us. Show us how to seek you. We were made to see you.
Gulls cawing...
"How calm she is / Forever at peace [?] How long will you hide Yourself? / Let me come see you. Let me not pretend..." dug a little deeper to find out more, remembering something read years ago (see "S")
"I write on water what I dare not say / I try to cradle you / to make you contain yourself"
"Jesus insists on choice. The one thing he condemns utterly is avoiding the choice. To choose is to commit yourself. And to commit yourself is to run the risk, is to run the risk of failure, the risk of sin, the risk of betrayal. But Jesus can deal with all of those. Forgiveness he never denies us. The man who makes a mistake can repent. But the man who hesitates, who does nothing, who buries his talent in the earth, with him he can do nothing."
"Love makes us one / two one / What is this Love / That loves us? / That comes from nowhere / From all around. The sky. / You, cloud / You love me, too / Love that loves us... Thank you."
Man is in revolt against God. The prophet Hosea saw in the breakdown of his marriage the spiritual infidelity of his own people. In that broken marriage we see the pattern of our world. We wish to live inside the safety of the laws. We fear to choose.
Newborn / I open my eyes / I melt / Into the eternal flame [God] / A spark / I fall / into the flame
You brought me out of the shadows / You lifted me from the ground /brought me back to life...
"Open me. Enter me / Show me how to love you [Lord] / Why do we come back down?
Odes of Solomon, written in the first centuries after Christ : "...The Lord is on my head like a crown / And I shall never be without Him / They have woven for me a crown of truth / And it caused Your branches to blossom in me / For it is not like a parched crown that blossoms not / For You live upon my head / And have blossomed upon me / Your fruits are full and complete / They are full of Your salvation…" What greater treasure is there than the blessings described? Christ always with us, as a crown which we wear, as a friend at our side."
Prayer St. Patrick’s Breastplate, as well as the final scene of Terrence Malick’s To The Wonder, which adapts that prayer and...literally turns into a prayer, then ends.
Quintana: "Jesus insists on choice"
"Run the risk of failure, the risk of sin, the risk of betrayal... Jesus can deal with all of those..."
"Sight"

"The Lady and the Unicorn" tapestry one of six, this one represents sight - and she was - it is said - depicted "sad" (as opposed to calm see "H") source “There is love that is like a stream that can go dry when rain no longer feeds it. But there is a love that is like a spring coming up from the earth. The first is human love, the second is divine love and has its source above.”
Utterly! “The one thing [Jesus] condemns utterly is avoiding the choice. To choose is to commit yourself, and to commit yourself is to run the risk of failure, the risk of sin, the risk of betrayal. But Jesus can deal with all of those. Forgiveness he never denies us. The man who makes a mistake can repent. But the man who hesitates, who does nothing, who buries his talent in the earth, with him he can do nothing."

We climbed the steps to the wonder ... Where are you leading me? Teach us where to seek you.
"You SHALL love (Jesus' one commandment) whether you like it or not / You feel your love has died
perhaps it's waiting to be transformed into something higher ...
