Compendium (return)


Here, you will find – exclusively – my humble compendium of letters. These are the correspondence I have maintained with my family. I submit them to your review for reasons I do not understand.

Forgive such musings as here follow. They are merely awkward attempts to understand a reality which eludes language. And, now they are yours.

Where did all this come from? All this shameless truth and hope? It all bleeds from you in every grimace and smile.

Do such gifts emanate from your soul? If they do, then your soul must outsize mine. It must be the size of an ocean and growing. It floods and fills our lives. The torrent of your beauty pushes through doors that are supposed to be locked and secret places that I hoped would remain hidden.

But, your shameless flood is too powerful to withstand. Your innocent joy illuminates even my darkest places. You should be sanctified, my daughter, as a sacrament - a gift from God. May God never let me forget the gift that you are- a holy and acceptable flood of his beauty and grace.
