The first degree of humility tells us that the world is not a mirror in which we see ourselves, nor is it a treasure chest filled with gifts for ourselves. Rather, the world is a temporary home where there unfolds hour by hour the truth that God loves us and that we are to live constantly with the awareness that he lives with us and sees us always.
– Father Simon O’Donnell, O.S.B.

This is a beautiful quote
Is Fr. Simon O'Donnel from Valyermo?
I remember purchasing and reading
a little booklet that he wrote
about the 12 steps of humility
maybe i will look for it
and pull it out again
yes
simon O'Donnell osb
a bit of a mystery
what ever happened to him
nobody seems to know
he just sort of disappeared
he was a mentor for me while I
worked things out in valyermo
c'est la vie
