- True Love
-
Jesus! Jesus Christ is my Savior and Lover-of-my-soul! This Jesus I believe in, is a Person, Someone with whom I have an eternal relationship. The answer to why is simple: He loves me perfectly. Once you encounter the real Jesus, you encounter True Love. Thank You, Lord, for You!

A brave cat does eventually find going home is just, kind, loving, merciful. Not only people quest relationships: stable, true, unconditional. Verily, wisdom xists yet zeitlose.

Something for a penny: like a breath-mint, just one!;, for a nickel: a fortune cookie (or just the fortune!); for a dime: a single playing-card, (so of course you collect them and try to assemble a whole deck!!!, but meanwhile each would make a great bookmark); for a quarter: a sample of parfum! I realize there candy and bubble-gum machines where you pop in a dime or a quarter and out comes something that appeals to children, but wouldn't it be lovely to have some simple little surprises for adults that cost just one coin? :)

- Energy Boost
-
Music always energizes me! In fact, I'm almost unable to get up and go w/out it! Usually a great book will excite me and often motivate me to think, to write, sometimes to act. Liturgy enlivens me, especially the celebration of the Eucharist. Often-times someone in need or some type of emergency calls forth a helpful and compassionate response from me so strongly that it seems as if there is a part of me that "awakens" only in times of crisis. Exercise also energizes me, but it's my least favorite energizer! Color can animate me in a way that nothing else can. Certain colors stimulate me so much that they actually open up a well of joy within me that seems to be related to my sense of "raison d'etre", yet it's not a "reason," it's more of a recognition of belonging.

- Favorite Book from Childhood
-
Any book my mother read to me was my favorite book as a child! I remember particularly enjoying "Fifty Famous Fairy Tales" (published as part of the Whitman Classics Series). I enjoyed the tales and I was enchanted by the illustrations. To this day, my heart races when I see prints of illustrations by the likes of Rackham, Clarke, Dulac, Gaskin, Hyldahl, and of course Bruno Frost!
