My Very Favorite Place in Seguin

I love visiting our Seguin Guadalupe County Library. The staff is so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly (sometimes I think I just go to say a 'howdy' to them!). There are MANY services the library offers in addition to borrowing books and doing research in reference books. When we first moved here, I spent time in the genealogy section of the library and found among the genealogy books, Seguin Matador yearbooks, women's club scrapbooks, and file drawers with Seguin newsclippings. I dare say that my first glimpse of the town that was to be my home was initially seen at the library.

"A library book...is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, is their only capital."

— Thomas JEFFERSON (1743-1826)

each of us walks a solitary path

Thomas Merton writes that
"The contemplative has nothing to tell you except to reassure you and say that if you dare to penetrate your own silence and risk the sharing of that solitude with the lonely other who seeks God through you, then you will truly recover the light and the capacity to understand what is beyond words and beyond explanations because it is too close to be explained; it is the intimate union in the depths of your own heart, of God's spirit and your own secret inmost self...."

Thomas Merton

Life is this simple.
We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent
and God is shining through it all the time.
This is not just a fable or a nice story
It is true.
If we abandon ourselves to God
and forget ourselves,
we see it sometimes
and we see it maybe frequently.
God shows Godself everywhere,
In everything,
In people and in things and in nature and in events.
It becomes very obvious that God is everywhere and
in everything and we cannot be without God.
It is impossible.
The only thing is that we don't see it.
