I heard an interesting interview a few weeks ago on the same idea of finding true happiness. A man had traveled all over the world, trying to find the "happiest place on earth". It wasn't Disneyland! He found it in a barren village, on a remote island, with very few symbols of what our culture says promotes happiness. An elderly villager was questioned about the joy that permeated daily life there. He answered, "Well, we think about death every day so we move through each day with joy. Embrace your end and your days will be sweeter." His words have been ringing in my mind since then so I was delighted to find Benedict also reminding us to hold that same thought. There is more alike than different when all the trappings are pulled away.<BR/><BR/>Continued blessings on you and Thomas for providing lovely reminders of the God's creative beauty and of his loving words and guidance for us.<BR/><BR/>AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
