It is reported that G. K. Chesterton, in a letter to his fiancee, wrote, "I do not think there is anyone who takes quite such fierce pleasure in things being themselves as I do. The startling wetness of water excites and intoxicates me: the fieriness of fire, the steeliness of steel, the unutterable muddiness of mud." That's how I want to live, especially in regards to people, each individual person so very unique in all the world.
Who is it that says most, which can say more,
Than this rich praise,--that you alone, are you?
William ShakespeareMy heart is ready, O God; I will sing, sing your praise. Ps 107:2
I am espoused to Him whom the angels serve. Sun and moon stand in wonder at His beauty. ~from the Rite of Consecration to a Life of Virginity
