15th Humans and St. Theresa of Avila

-

It is a video where the future is outlined as a place where robot automation will be replacing many common and very much cheaper than people. 
This was an interesting, and sobering 15 minute video. 

Better technology makes more and better jobs for horses humans? ::??::

I got nothing else to talk about really today. Much to pray about and plan, but not to share.
I am going to finish quick & say SEE YA LATER!

St. Teresa of Avila-------October 15

There is a huge amount about this lady online- Doctor of the Church / Mystic / Author / Saint...

Feastday: October 15     Patron of Headache sufferers, Spanish Catholic Writers

Birth: 1515     Death: 1582

And an extensive biography here: Spanish mystic, Roman Catholic saint,Carmelite nun, an author of the Counter Reformation and theologian of contemplative life through mental prayer

In one of her visions, a seraph[ drove the fiery point of a golden lance repeatedly through her heart, causing an ineffable spiritual-bodily pain.

This vision was the inspiration for one of Bernini's most famous works, the Ecstasy of Saint Teresa at Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome.

 Understandably, the memory of this episode remained motivating and influential to her.


 Her lifelong imitation of the life and suffering of Jesus is simply stated in a motto associated with her.



LORD, either let me suffer or let me die. "

FYI: Just a couple days a week posts will be a more doable goal I think. Sunday or Monday & 'mid-week,' Nevertheless,  here is a composite post. re: Tiredness & some more about my history. So, I DO KNOW when to quit working. I decide, remind myself to care for my health, then 10 minutes (OK 30) later, I'm still standing here on hurting feet, squinting now (took glasses off when I told myself to stop earlier). Y, I walked away & took a break, lay down for a 15 minute rest that turned into an hour and a half nap. Tom does Not approve of Camera.  I feel so much better after a rest, yet I am still upset somehow that I need it. (It is Extra isn't it? to Nap is to be weak maybe?)  It's been, .. UM let's see, 1985, that would be.... 32!  32 years I've been 'only' tired.  Before they removed the tumour, I got to be tired with nausea and dizzy spells and seizures and mood swings. (OK so maybe the mood swings didn't entirely go away,

Cut & paste to the FB drainhole.  So, I've been praying about whether or not to begin writing again.   I'd appreciate your opinion.  Is it too much self-focus? or should I try again?    I have two pages still up:  https://fyribooks.blogspot.com/ https://fyribooks.wordpress.com/ May 2017 was month of reflection and joyfully seeing the NW spring break into summer. FyhriGarden had lovely weather for beginning of 🔥 fire ring. Don't think they sunburned themselves much. . The quote below from Broken Way author, speaks to me as a caregiver. I wasn't a calm or patient Mom., I feel somewhat a failure for being unable to improve much while caring for hubby. "You wanted to be more patient — you wanted to never lose it, to always have it together, to  keep calm and that is all , always, — and yeah, take their tantrums with a grain of salt instead of throwing one of yours that turned out to be a first class tsunami and a tad bit more dramatic than theirs.......
