I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Here I Am - 4/13/20

"Here I Am"
Poem of the Day - 4/13/20
Audio Version of Today's Poem

Looking for the right words
To comfort
To heal
To offer hope

But words are not enough
When what we need is the ability
To visit
To serve
To embrace

We try our best to stay connected
Via Zoom
Via FaceTime
Via Skype

But we are a social species, drawn
To touch
To presence
To true interaction

I tell myself I should use this time
For new and favorite hobbies
For working on my abs
For a silent retreat

But the excuses keep coming -
I'm not sure where to start
I'm too tired
I'm too lazy

But, if not now, when?
Procrastination returns
Again
And again
And again

So here I am...writing poetry
