Who can resist the old joke? ("What does the Dalai Lama order at a hot dog stand: "Make me one with everything.")
(Why I have gone into bad jokes here, when I was really interested in St. John of the Cross who had no sense of humour, I don't know. His pal St. Teresa, was completely different.
Her best joke ever -- stop me if you have heard it -- She was toiling away on the road somewhere in a pelting rainstorm, and her carriage fell into a ditch. A voice from heaven said,"Even such trials and hardships do I place upon those who are my truly beloved friends."
And she replied: "That explains, Lord, why you have so few of them."
yours, Peter T.
