“Christ’s coming into the world was not like that of a sightseer to a strange city, but rather like that of an artist visiting his own studio or an author paging the books he himself has written, for in becoming incarnate, the divine Word was tabernacling Himself in His own creation.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (In The Fullness of Time)

This is an old interview but I loved this interview with singer/songwriter Carolyn Arenz because I'm like her with the organizational boxes (put me in the container store, and I'll want everything there) and trying to keep it together with all the busyness, but not quite making it with that...and knowing that you need to Be Still but needing a little help. lol... but then there are the wild things of God that don't fit into the boxes, and the unexpected surprises and things that you think are distractions but may actually be God showing up in the present moment for you to welcome and let in. lol....but you know, I made some progress. I gave away about 20 baskets that were in the closet under my stairs and gave them to Forgotten Angels. I figured someone might need these to put Christmas gifts in. But they had become cumbersome and when I would open the closet they would fly out at me. It's was time to let it all go.

“Poetry listens to me when I am silent and understands me when no one else seems to be able to.”

"No one has ever laughed at a pun who did not see in the one word a twofold meaning. To materialists this world is opaque like a curtain; nothing can be seen through it. A mountain is just a mountain, a sunset just a sunset; but to poets, artists, and saints, the world is transparent like a window pane - it tells of something beyond....a mountain tells of the Power of God, the sunset of His Beauty, and the snowflake of His Purity." ~ Fulton J. Sheen
