"Heron stands in the blue estuary.
Solitary, white, unmoving for hours.
A fish! Quick avian darting;
The prey captured."
My sister once quoted her pastor as saying, "Do what is necessary, when it is necessary." A sister I met once, checking in with me about character formation on my journey toward spiritual direction, reminded me that, "to do anything less," than what one knows to be right is a mistake indeed. Armed with such knowledge, ever growing in it, I must, in the words of Pope St. John Paul II, "Say 'yes' with courage and without reserve, trusting Him Who is faithful to His promises."
