Fall

Last night the network went down in the friary where I live. So this morning I walked over to our other house to read my email and blog a bit.

On the way I was thinking about how this is really my favorite time of year. Perhaps it just suits my temperament. It's as if after the loud and manic mood of summer the earth cools off, takes a deep breath, lets go of some of her brightness and settles down for a quieter reflection.

It's just seems easier this time of year to relax the heart and think straight.

    Thanks for the interest, Michael, and peace and every good thing for your vocation.

    I'm happy to trade links; I'm having some network troubles right now, so it might take me a few days.

    Thanks!

    Dear Friar-

    You can have this weather, my dear friend.

    As for me, I love seeing the leaves on the trees and green as far as the eyes can see...and not having my knobby kneecaps chattering together from the bitter cold...

    But I will humbly pray for you and wish you peace and simplicity during this, my time of anguish...lol

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
