Letter 4546
My rooms have become untidy. While clean, there is yet clutter: books are piled, bedclothes strewn, objects not put away.
I must work around the confusion.
What is the state of my thought life, and my spirit life? Does the same debris impede my inner life as it does my outer?
❖
Does one affect the other?
Let me order my surroundings, Lord. Let me start where I can.
Consider:
Shall I today begin to set things aright?
