I seek that Mystical Hope that transcends the puzzle pieces and admittedly have been very influenced by those such as Richard Rohr, Cynthia Bougeault, Basil Pennington , Thomas Merton. Now I am opening to making all of that my own - knowing that placing my hope in the puzzle pieces is a bad idea cause someone can come along , bump the table and toss it all on the floor in an instant, OR one can 'complete' the puzzle and realize that the picture wasn't as pretty as they'd thought it would be and want another puzzle anyway....vickinoreply@blogger.com
