Love has to go through darkness and pain and endurance and a stark acceptance before it can come out into the far light of the sun.
~ from THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SUN by Madeleine L'Engle
Center yourself to God and PRAY night and day "without ceasing." ALL you do, think, or read can be made into prayer. Great music, art, literature, architecture, friendships are, or can be, forms of prayer. What is gained by prayer can never be lost. PRAYER is eternity breathing in time.
