• The Louvre! The Louvre has me in its clutches. Every time I'm there rich blessings rain down upon me. I am coming to understand Titian more and more and learning to love him.

And Fiesole with his poignant little biblical stories, so simply told, often so glorious in their colors.

• Love is a wonderful gift.
  It's a present so precious
  words can barely begin to describe it.
  Love is a feeling,
  the deepest and sweetest of all.
  It's incredibly strong
  and amazingly gentle
  at the very same time.
  It is a blessing
  that should be counted every day.
  It is nourishment for the soul.
