I pick up a long-ignored Book of Hours* now to find a match to the silence all around. The birds have already had their “hour” of waking and presently are busy with the day. The sun is up and shining in silent glory and I sit in gratitude with Thomas Merton’s spirit, imaging him on the grounds of the Abbey of Gethsemani writing the following: Thank God for the hill, the sky, the morning sun, the manna on the ground which every morning renews our lives. (The Sign of Jonas, p. 327)

I don’t know if you read these replies but I wanted to tell you that every time the add with the moving worm appears I have to cover it up in order to read your message. It is a very distracting and unpleasant sight.
Your message are beautiful.

Bernadette,
I do read the message and am grateful for the comments. I have never seen the add you’re talking about but I will talk to our tech person and see if she. knows what it is and/or how to get rid of it. I would certainly not be happy trying to read around something like that!
Thank you!!
