WHEN THE SOUL STOPS TO LISTEN

you may laugh at new age new wavers but there are certainly circumstances under which that would be a mistake ... for they at the least know that after the body speaks and the mind has its say there is something left to be said by the spirit ... and the catholics know something when they speak of one spirit which above all the others is holy ... here's a category I only mean to say without which you are lost when you try to understand human nature ... when you scrub your sins away thirty or forty times a day ... when you will have that last drink when it's final now forty or fifty times in a row and all the years of your life in attendance behind them ... when you put one book down just to pick up another ... page after page till all the days of your life are turned out now gone now past your recall ... but that my hands tied her heart's strings back together again ... and all the words on all the pages in all the books written and printed had one point to make and made it all together ... there is a learning that purges and a wisdom that quiets the spirit of the soul
