Thought for the day, Saturday 24th June

Midsummer Day

“My Beloved is in the mountains,
And lonely wooded valleys,
Strange islands,
And resounding rivers,
The whistling of love-stirring breezes,
The tranquil night
At the time of the rising dawn,
Silent music,
Sounding solitude,
The supper that refreshes,
And deepens love.”

John of the Cross, born on this day in 1542
