St Teresa of Avila - Remember, God, that we are the plants in your fields .
Remember, God, that we are the plants in your fields so connected to the earth that you know what would happen if you did not rain upon us. and if your light ceased to lift us from the ground and craft our bodies, how might we near you like the suns? Remember, God, to love us in a way our souls can taste and rejoice in.
