A Thought for Today

Today I’ve been thinking about this wildly paraphrased quote from Thomas à Kempis. I took it from his classic “The Imitation of Christ,” written well over 500 years ago, but full of wisdom and a very gentle spirit of love.

“Don’t be angry that you can’t make others what YOU want them to be. . .you can’t even make YOURSELF what you want to be!”

All of us are delicate. We’ve just perfected our masks.
