Changed

So what has changed?
Nothing--
and everything.

The perfect lover

"Only the perfect Christian can be the perfect lover."

--Fr. Eugene Boylan in This Tremendous Lover

Every path

Every path I take
leads to you.

I want to run away;
I want to stay.

Seeing

"The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking
confess the secrets of the heart."

--Saint Jerome

For Margaret

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."

--Catherine Drinker Bowen
