all these images
mixing together
forming in and out
the silhouette that is You
You have taken everything
and sprinkled
Your perfume
on all my belongings
and now
they are no longer mine
for they have been yours
all along

What do you possess that you have not received?
-1 Cor 4:7

the process of simplifying prayer from words- to thoughts focused on God ("memory of the presence of God)- to silence- to a gesture, such as a smile or the opening of empty hands
-Father Tadeusz Dajczer

You think of me, and I will think of you.
- St. Catherine of Sienna
