Love vs. Justice



Look
what happens
to the scale
when love
holds it.
It stops
working.

Have you ever read "The Awakened Heart" by Gerald May? (probably, since you're a spiritual director) I am re-reading it currently and this quote fits so well with what I am reading. Thanks.

Jan,
this is one of the annoying factors of aging.......trying to remember what i have and haven't read, watched on DVD and/or TV, and discussed in previous conversations with people whose names i can't recall..........i do know i've read gerald may on addictions......perhaps i have read the awakened heart - perhaps i have not.....i'm off to the library today to see if i recognize the book (of course it also might already be sitting on one of my many bookshelves:)
