"Worry, why do I let myself worry?"


Lyle sums it up in his intro.- Willie wrote it, the late, great Patsy Cline made it famous, and Καθολικός διάκονος favorite Emmylou Harris sings, plus offers a little commentary. This, dearly beloved, is our Friday traditio.

"Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you" because for me to truly love someone requires the love of Another, the recognition that I am loved, which is why Amor ergo sum necessarily precedes Amo ergo sum. Only God can say of God- Amo ergo sum, which still falls well short of the Mystery. Otherwise, at least in my experience, it gets a little crazy.

All holy men and women, pray for us
