conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form

Don't lose any opportunity, however small, of being gentle toward everyone. Don't rely on your own efforts to succeed in your various undertakings, but only on God's help. Then rest in his care of you, confident that he will do what is best for you, provided that you will, for your part, work diligently but gently. I say "gently" because a tense diligence is harmful both to our heart and to our task and is not really diligence, but rather over eagerness and anxiety...I recommend you to God's mercy. I beg him, through that same mercy, to fill you with his love. - Francis de Sales

gitali 43

If you don't endure sorrow,
the when will your sorrow elapse?

You have to burn out the poison
with the itense heat of poison.

Let your fire burn,
Don't fear it at all.

When it turns to ash and dies out,
then it will never burn again.

Don't run away while trying to evade Him,
Don't be reluctant to surrender to him.

Running away down the long path,
you only prolong your suffering.

Finish off death completely
by dying.

Only then
will that Life come
and take His own seat.
