To discern what is fitting at whatever moment we happen to need to know a direction

requires some silent time, doesn’t it? To have a habit of being in silence is of great help.

~Gunilla Norris

how I sweeten the darker thoughts….

inquiry for today~ may you lighten too….

wandering alone…..

To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you

and hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations –

such is pleasure beyond compare.
