"All day long a little burro labors, sometimes with heavy loads on her back and sometimes just with worries about things that bother only burros. And worries, as we know, can be more exhausting than physical labor. Once in a while a kind monk comes to her stable and brings a pear, but more than that, he looks into the burro's eyes and touches her ears and for a few seconds the burro is free and even seems to laugh, because love does that: Love offers freedom."

great images (word and picture).
yes, nice...
This is brilliant- so moving, so true.
I love the imagery of the burro.
And I certainly love Meister Eckhart.
This fits so nicely with last week's gospel lesson from the lectionary. Jesus truly saw the Samaritan woman, loved her, and set her free.
Thanks for sharing this great image from Meister Eckhart!
How beautiful!!!
Linked your post on prayer to my newest post. I really loved that one. Thank you, Jan!
Jan - Just found you through Easter's blog. I also used a Meister Eickert quote on my holy card blog but I unfortunately dont mark my posts for future catagory find. I wonder if it's too late to go back and do that. Anyway, you have a beautiful site with lots to come back and read. Thank you.
