Dear Father Donald,

Unsleeping, your blog post delights me so much!

With my copy of the book by my bedside, and the window of my mind open to the night sky:

"The shadows fall. The stars appear. The birds begin to sleep Night embraces the silent half of the earth."

And "everything depends on our laying ourselves down "under the sweet stars of the world" and giving ourselves over to the hidden Wisdom of God."

With quiet inner joy,

. . .in Our Lord,

William
