"She lived in solitude, and now in solitude has built her nest; and in solitude, He guides her... He alone, who also bears in solitude, the wound of love." St. John of The Cross
"I will now allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her." --Hosea 2:14

When two flames unite....
"Maybe the flame of our spirit and the flame of God's spirit are not one flame yet, but in their dance they touch one another, and go apart, they flicker within one another, they sometimes are lost within one another. John of the Cross encourages us to open ourselves to this dance that the two flames may become one."
From the book,'The Carmelite Way', by John Welch
