Here, an image of Saint Francis<br />

of Assisi, who happens to be<br />

making <strong>the</strong> mudra of <strong>the</strong> ―half flag‖<br />

with his right hand (just like <strong>the</strong><br />

statue of Jesus on <strong>the</strong> altar in Eunate)<br />

-- a sign associated with Raghu,<br />

who is believed to have been a son<br />

of Gautama Buddha.<br />

―Let your mind start a journey<br />

through a strange new world.<br />

Leave all thoughts of <strong>the</strong> world you<br />

knew before. Let your Soul take<br />

you where you long to be …‖<br />

~ Eric Fromm<br />

Now that’s a grapevine!<br />

―Spiritual poverty has little to do<br />

with not having any money or only<br />

owning a few possessions. Spiritual<br />

poverty is detaching from <strong>the</strong><br />

seeking of personal happiness.<br />

Indeed, it renounces anything &<br />

everything that would tempt us into<br />

believing <strong>the</strong> illusion that we are<br />

separate from — and ‗more special‘<br />

than — o<strong>the</strong>rs.‖ ~ inspired by<br />

Thomas Merton<br />
