Thought for the day, Thursday 11th December

International Mountain Day

“Nature is united with divine love, to which the will of the soul is also joined. Nature is well ordered and asks nothing that is against the laws of the divine. Love says to us, “There are those who sit on the mountain above the winds and rain. They are not ashamed of anything in the earth or nature, nor do they fear anything that might happen. These people are real people – with faith, their doors open, not grieving. Nor do any of their works of service come to nothing. They are the ones who sit on the mountain, none other.”

From The Mirror of Simple Souls by Marguerite Porete (1258 – 1310)
