When the wolf is at the door...


Barn's burnt down --
now
I can see the moon.

(Mizuta Masahide—1657?-1723)

“I desire, Brother Wolf, to make peace between you and [the people], so that you may offend no more, and they shall forgive you your past offenses.”—St. Francis of Assisi, from “The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi”

“This…speaks to the workings of grace and love in all of us. We have the same power as St. Francis to transform animosity into love. Are you [we] open to this power of grace and love that extends to all sentient beings?”

(from [The Mystic Hours] by Brother Wayne Teasdale, 2004, p. 278)
