Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

What I know of the divine sciences and Holy Scripture, I learnt in woods and fields. I have had no other masters than the beeches and the oaks.

St Bernard of Clairvaux (1091 – 1153), France

    What a lovely photo

    I am not quite sure what to make of the words of Bernard, given that other people later decided he should be called a “Saint”, apparently.

    You should read what other saints have said at one time or another as they trod their paths to sainthood. St Bernard was a man with his feet firmly planted in his ‘here and now’, fully conscious of his natural world. It was his inspiration to find its Creator.

    However, whenever, or wherever any of us become saints, Cherry, I do suspect we’ve all had to learn the Basics of Life and Love from Creation itself…all around us. First and foremost!

    I am just enjoying the sunshine on those bright red leaves, Cherie!
