Saint Francis Prayer
About Me
- Kathy Lynne
- North Shore, Massachusetts
- "But the first salt wind from the east, the first sight of the lighthouse set boldly on its outer rock, the flash of a gull, the waiting procession of seaward-bound firs on an island, made me feel solid and definate again..." -Sarah Orne Jewitt

Going Sober: June 11, 2007
To live a spiritual life we must first find the courage to enter into the desert of loneliness and to change it by gentle and persistent efforts into a garden of solitude.
--Henri J. M. Nouwen

So Far Away by Stain'd
And So It Continues....
"There were in her at the moment two beings, one drawing deep breaths of freedom and exhilaration, the other gasping for air in a little black prison-house of fears. But gradually the captive's gasps grew fainter, or the other paid less heed to them; the horizon expanded, the air grew stronger, and the free spirit quivered for flight." Edith Wharton

oh nooooooo
Reminds me of a guy I met yesterday at the 5:30PM...He came in drunk. He whispered to me (HE thought he whispered!) that he had years of sobriety, and ONE F***ing pint of vodka yesterday afternoon had now f***ed up his WHOLE LIFE!
Wife, Job, House, Children, Car...ALL gone, vanished. To paraphrase your blog, ..."and as soon as I drank one pint, it was gone...geesh!"
