"True sanctity does not consist in trying to live without creatures. It
consists in using the goods of life in order to do the will of God. It
consists in using God's creation in such a way that everything we touch
and see and use and love gives new glory to God. To be a saint means to
pass through the world gathering fruits for heaven from every tree and
reaping God's glory in every field. The saint is one who is in contact
with God in every possible way, in every possible direction. He is
united to God by the depths of his own being. He sees and touches God
in everything and everyone around him. Everywhere he goes, the world
rings and resounds (though silently) with the deep harmonies of God's
glory."Thomas Merton, Seasons of Celebration

Excellent quote!
Great photo, great quote. That quote is a fantastic definition of "an undivided heart"!
God bless you today, Celia!
And may all your pots come out symmetrical! (Unless you meant to be asymmetrical.)
Ideaguy sent me by! It is a great quote and a grea picuture. Thanks for sharing.
Actually, I started taking lessons in the summer of 2001. So, not way back. I loved it. Unfortunately, last year I fell and broked my tailbone so the doctor didn't want me riding for several months. Then finances have been tight, so it has been about a year since I've been able to ride. I so want to get back to it though!
Thanks for the encouragement.
