growing at night.


I found this lovely plant sprouting up while I was on a little walk this evening. I've heard it's nice to give plants names. I've never done this, but I'm starting now. It isn't actually my plant, because it's outside in the courtyard. Nevertheless, his name is now Lars.

This evening I read a few chapters from some classmates' doctoral thesis work. One of them is all about spiritual direction. She used a quote from Margaret Guenther that I really like:

"Spiritual direction lies in our uncovering the obvious in our lives and in realizing that everyday events are the means by which God tries to reach us."
