I have desired to go

February 14, 2013 · Filed Under: Uncategorized ·

Heaven-haven

I have desired to go
Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.
And I have asked to be
Where no storms come,
Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,
And out of the swing of the sea.

 

– Gerard Manley Hopkins

Beginning tonight I will be on retreat until next Friday. Let’s pray for each other, shall we?

See you on the other side.
