QUIET EYE VIRTUAL CONVENT

A quiet place...where we read the words you love and silent, listen to your heart. We have created this space for individuals like us who contemplated taking the vows of silence and who, like the Franciscans and Clares, are perhaps of the "Third Order"... or as one of our mothers said, have the Third Ear and the Third Eye. Share your thoughts, poems, prayers, favorite quotes and your ideas with us. We are virtually sisters and brothers! Welcome to our community.

Ironing

Ironing out the creases in
The family
Laundry now newly lavender-scented, starched.

From generation to generation belovèd women pass on their legacy --

A sacred act.
A sacred trust.
