Men invent means and methods
of coming at God's love,
they learn rules and set up devices
to remind them of that love,
and it seems like a world of trouble
to bring oneself into
the consciousness of God's presence.
Yet it might be so simple.
Is it not quicker and easier
just to do our common business
wholly for the love of him?

So true.
I've read Brother Lawrence a number of times since 1968. He started as a young non-monk and became a very seriously understood and welcomed one. I have been very happy with him. Thanks for sharing so beautifully, both with the photo and his words.
Blessings.
