Note: This Sunday, I’m taking another full day off—a contemplation day—to sit in as much silence as I can bear (Maria will be with me some of the time) and get myself in order—no blog posts (maybe a flower thing) or devices.

”It’s almost impossible for me to overestimate the value of true humility in the spiritual life. The beginning of humility is the beginning of blessedness, and the consummation of humility is the perfection of all joy. Humility contains in itself the answer to all the great problems of the life of the soul. It is the only key to faith…” – Thomas Merton on Contemplation.

I’ve got to try this once again. I’ve got some work to do. The Cambridge Pantry support post will be on Saturday, tomorrow, and again on Monday.

My assistant is independent and restless. He never stays too long when I’m working, but he always comes by to say hello and get my attention. He is not resistible.
