CLARITY IS
FREEDOM
I had tea
yesterday with a great theologian,
and he asked me,
“What is your
experience of God’s will?”
I liked
that question –
for the distillation of thought hones thought in
others.
Clarity, I know, is freedom.
What is my
experience of God’s will?
Everyone is a
traveler. Most all need lodging, food,
and
clothes.
I let enter my
mouth what will enrich me. I wear what
will make my eye content,
I
sleep where I will
wake with the
strength
to
deeply
love
all my
mind can
hold.
What is God’s
will for a wing?
Every bird knows
that.
~ St. Teresa
of Avila
