The end of the day and I'm sitting at my computer in my "other office", watching the swallows fly their dance in the sunset outside my window. Beyond them are the Sabine mountains… yes, I'm in Rome for a couple of days. I had to receive the examinations of some of my students, including three defenses of theses (licentiates) this afternoon. Now I'm ready to pack it all up and go to sleep.
A certain quiet is descending upon the Eternal City, with the cheerfulness of the dancing swallows who send the sun to set in the distant west after a long day. May we all hear the gentle cooing of the dove in our heart of hearts, and the cheerful shouts of the swallows who build their nests in the joy of God's presence.
