I’m going mystical:
“This is our last time to be honest, to be loving, to be open, to be grateful, to be patient, to be lovable and loving and loved. This is the time for melting into God. The words that come now will be the honest ones. The veil between us and eternity will begin to tear, and we will start the slow walk to it, ready, open, thrown upon the heart of (our) God. The mystery is soon about to reveal itself. Now, the time is complete. Now it is finished. Now it is only beginning.” – Joan Chittister.
And for me, now there is no more time to waste, no time to fear, new seed of regret, no longing back in sadness, no complaint or self-pity. I’m with Joan Chittister. Now, it is only beginning.
I enjoyed the commentary today, which seemed as though written to go with today’s flower photos. The flowers had an ethereal quality. I read your prose and viewed them several times. Thank you for both.
This is a wonderful quote from Chissester. Which of her books is it from? My husband and I would like to read more. Thank you for your lovely writing and pictures.
