From what is said here, we can learn to develop our untapped potential and live out a great inner richness. Thanks for the inspiration today, Peter. A flawless memo written by a spiritual advisor we come to rely on each day for our daily pep up.

STRIVE FOR PERFECTION--That is what we do as Carmelites--I am Secular, of course,Not behind the Wall (Inclosed) but of the world but not of it. We live the simple life. I see your spirituality is much like ours ad wondering of what faith you are. I also see you are from Scotland in the UK and that interest me. But mostly I see we have much in common spiritually and I can well identify to what you write although my thoughts are much more simple. We believe in the simple life for we are simple people. In my Owl poem I say 'be all you can be; Don't you wish you could be like me' I love those encouraging words. I love the picture of the owl--wish I could get one for my little ones. Your friend in Christ Marguerite

I am such a bore; all I can do is to endlessly repeat "Ah! That a man's reach exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for?!" Forgive me, Browning... not even sure I have got THAT right!!?? Never mind, just gives me plenty of your last three lines, I guess! :)) Love it, thank you. Kate xx

Laughter and light heartedness makes for a happy heart
And we all know we need more of that

We truly do, my friend, especially in these sad turbulent times of ours.

We sure do need to lighten up. Don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing... (don't ask. I don't know either)
Many gems in this one write...
