Early yesterday morning I was able to catch that great moon.
In her diary entry for December 26, 1976, Dorothy Day wrote:
"A snow storm is upon us, the house is crowded like the inn where Christ was born. Besides our community of 40 there is a Italian mother and family of 6, not to speak of some unidentified ones who suddenly appeared....
We are not a community, a Christian or a religious community that is. We are an inn by the side of the road. We have no common sense."
Dorothy quotes St. Teresa of Avila, "Life is a night spent in a disorderly inn."
