"I...love to clothe this false self...and I wind experiences around myself with pleasures and glory like bandages in order to make myself visible to myself and to the world, as if I were an invisible body that could only become visible when something visible covered its surface. but there is no substance under the things with which I am clothed. I am hollow...And when they are gone there will be nothing left of me but my own nakedness and emptiness and hollowness..."
Thomas Merton
Lord may I live from this day onward in a way that is your will and not the will of others and their unattainable expectations.
