... I feel hard pressed to see goodness in us at all. We hate, we break; we oppress and repress. The pantheon holds my face gently and lifts it up to see beyond our baseness; it extends a gentle arm around me and embraces me with goodness and beauty and truth. Hmmm. All that from a structure built of cold stone . . . wow.
The weather has been what the weather will tend to be in December in Italy. As Paul would say, I’ve just “allowed” ...

Later we sat on the hotel balcony in the mid afternoon sun and just enjoyed being. With ...
Another amazing day in Assisi
... originally quite a small, modest structure, not the present imposing buildings. It is a peaceful, prayerful place well worth visiting. You can see the grotto of St Francis, which contains the stone he used as a bed when at the Hermitage. He was a Christian ascetic and quite ******* himself and others. His commitment to poverty led him not only to regularly beg for food, but also to fail to eat properly, which almost certainly led to his death at the age of 42. We had been told it was a ...
