Thanks, Dave! I appreciate that feedback. Most of these quotes are from Mirabai Starr's translation of The Interior Castle. That's the translation I used when we had to read Teresa during the first year of the Living School. I've read a number of translations of Teresa and I think Mirabai's are the best. She has such a poetic sensibility and is able to surface the beauty of Teresa's thoughts.
I have enjoyed this thoroughly. Just ran into a sentence that interrupted my reading flow:
I recommend you re-work this sentence “Actually, entered paints a false picture. “
Recommend something like: Actually, saying that she “entered” the convent at that time creates the wrong impression.
Thank you, Laura! I will take that into account when I do my revisions in January.
Great recap and story. You bring the mystics to life. What translation do u quote from? It is quite readable. Peace brother.
