I am curled up in my reading chair with a good book and a cup of green tea, letting the words of Thomas Merton sink deep down...
"To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love.
Love is my true identity. Selflessness is my true self. Love is my true character. Love is my name.
If, therefore, I do anything or think anything or say anything or know anything that is not purely for the love of God, it cannot give me peace, or rest, or fulfillment, or joy."
From New Seeds of Contemplation.
