"Some days words come easily to us, and insights seem to
spring up from some secret sanctuary to surprise and delight, leaving us
wondering at hidden resources within. On other days we feel lost for
words, with insights buried under a mountain of routine concerns. We all
need help on dull days when reserves are low and this volume has been
assembled not as a substitute for your best thinking, but as a humble
help for those days when you feel a bit weary and out of inspiration. It
aims to provide a line, an image, a thought--a trigger to set the mind
in movement toward the Gospel."
