Solitude...

"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
The Spiritual Canticle

Lord, I long to be the little bird who has built her nest in the safety of your hands! Protect your little bird and never stop loving her! Amen.
