God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.” - C.S.

For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.” -Matthew 5:30 Jesus was using hyperbole. He often spoke in vivid metaphors — planks in your eye, camels through the eye of a needle — to wake people up. The point wasn’t literal mutilation, but removing whatever blocked you from love. The tragedy is how this was twisted. In the Catholic Church I grew up in, verses like this were welded onto sexuality and weaponized against the body. What was meant to free people became a tool of fear and shame. Instead of bringing transformation, it fueled self-hatred. The irony is that when I finally touched myself with reverence, the fruit was the exact opposite of what I was warned about: I didn’t spiral deeper into sin. I came home to love, to wholeness, to the very presence of God in my own body. https://www.avasoleil.ca/blog-/four-seasons-of-solitude monthly 0.5 2025-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887cdf9b88a9e28f0a64d01/8a613f0d-8345-42a7-8dfb-553cee250d33/SarahSovereignPhotography_Tamara%2869%29.JPG Blog - Four Seasons of Solitude - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887cdf9b88a9e28f0a64d01/eb7d72c4-4c73-4d08-8d1a-7cdbf90e85dd/SarahSovereignPhotography_Tamara%2864%29.JPG Blog - Four Seasons of Solitude - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887cdf9b88a9e28f0a64d01/34c34136-9313-4407-bdff-89badd6b9779/SarahSovereignPhotography_Tamara%2859%29.JPG Blog - Four Seasons of Solitude - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887cdf9b88a9e28f0a64d01/1e004cfd-a4bf-439a-b20e-47bcf182bf36/SarahSovereignPhotography_Tamara%2836%29.JPG Blog - Four Seasons of Solitude Love After Love The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life. - Derek Walcott Now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever; in which every chapter is better than the one
