Church was beautiful.
Had lunch with friends afterwards.
Excited to begin working on my small contract
this week.
Not sure when I will hear back about the 4 interviews
but am enjoying today and am reading about
Elder Macarius.
I love having more than one Optina book
'on the go' and
it is fun to read about the different
Optina Elders;
It is like entering a new world that can not
only teach me things I have been waiting for
but is full of light that I find myself
looking for,
as if lost in a long corridor;
I guess I could say that Optina is one of the doors
I have been looking for
and summer, metaphorically
as well was in reality,
for now,
is here.
*
The best thing is that when it is winter again,
which inwardly can happen so quickly -
the Optina Saints can still be
there, with me
when it is cold,
snowy,
or in a dank dark rain.
