HOPE is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.–Emily Dickinson

God’s laughter
LAUGHTER CAME FROM EVERY BRICK
Just these two words He spoke
changed my life,
“Enjoy Me.”
What a burden I thought I was to carry–
a crucifix, as did He.Love once said to me, “I know a song,
would you like to hear it?”And laughter came from every brick in the street
and from every pore
in the sky.After a night of prayer, He
changed my life when
He sang,“Enjoy me.”
(St. Teresa of Avila, 16th century mystic, saint, and Doctor of the Church)
