Sketch by Thomas Merton
“In humility is the greatest freedom. As long as you have to defend the imaginary self that you think is important, you lose your peace of heart. As soon as you compare that shadow with the shadows of other people, you lose all joy, because you have begun to trade in unrealities and there is no joy in things that do not exist.”
~Thomas Merton
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy receiving these emails.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sending them...

thank you, Jill! There seems to be no rhyme or reason to them. I'm so glad that you wrote to tell me that.
