My Beloved, the mountains,
and lonely wooded valleys,
strange islands,
and resounding rivers,
the whistling of love-stirring breezes,the tranquil night
Saint John of the Cross
at the time of the rising dawn,
silent music,
sounding solitude,
the supper that refreshes, and deepens love.

Carmelite Quotes

It is truly a balm to the soul.
