Love and Beauty

When I’m going through times of incredible doubt about my vocation; when I’m experiencing a dramatic shift in beliefs; when I my theology is crashing and burning; when I wonder if I took a wrong turn; when I acknowledge my life is more than half over and what have I accomplished; when confusion is the air I breathe; when my mountains fall into the sea; and when I realize that I will use the internet, movies, tv, alcohol, tobacco, or anything in all of creation as a sedative against all my anguish… I realize I have people to love and be loved by. This is my daughter Casile going out to a prom, and her mom, my beautiful and wise wife, Lisa. And there are the beautiful flowers. In the background is the majestic Kennebecasis River that we live on. Sometimes it is only love and beauty that holds me together.
