"It is true there is an ebb and flow, but the sea remains the sea.’ You are the sea. Although I experience many ups and downs in my emotions and often feel great shifts and changes in my inner life, you remain the same."
Vincent Van Gogh

Thoughts on poverty
Keep Listening and Keep Looking
From: Finding My Way Home: Pathways to Life and the Spirit
Poverty in all its forms, physical, intellectual, and emotional, is not decreasing. To the contrary, the poor are everywhere around us and beyond – more than ever. As the powers of darkness show their hideous intentions with increasing crudeness, the weeping of the poor becomes louder and louder and their misery more and more visible. We who yearn for peace must strive to keep listening and to keep looking. We must not run away from this painful sight.
Reflection Question: Where are you attending to the weeping of the poor?
“The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.”
