The soul is spacious, plentiful and its amplitude is impossible to exaggerate…the sun here radiates to every part…and nothing can diminish its beauty.—St. Teresa of Avila Some of the early saints seem to have had a step up on contemporary Christianity. How is that possible? Was life simpler in the 16th century when the above inspiring words came to Teresa of Avila? Certainly not. But reading hers and other’s insights in this century does cause one to reflect on the intuitive oneness with which they seemed to live and that I in the 21st century—with similar distractions—appear to be constantly struggling to maintain some semblance of equilibrium.
