Thought for the Day

. . . there is more to writing than just saying how you feel

and what you think; for to know what you think and feel,

it's often necessary to see what you see and to let the seeing

and how you describe it show you what you think and

what you feel. In the process your own spiritual autobiography

emerges and reveals itself in the images that move you,

the specific details that you see within and without.

~ Murray Bodo, O.F.M.
