Join 📚 Carla's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Carla's read, .
The creeks—Tinker and Carvin’s—are an active mystery, fresh every minute. Theirs is the mystery of the continuous creation and all that providence implies: the uncertainty of vision, the horror of the fixed, the dissolution of the present, the intricacy of beauty, the pressure of fecundity, the elusiveness of the free, and the flawed nature of perfection.

Raphael’s name can be translated as “Medicine of God,” “Healing power of God,” or simply, “God heals.” Some people have even translated it as “Ointment of God.” His name may be derived from the Hebrew word rophe, which means “doctor.” The Hebrew word rophe (or rapha) means “to restore,” “to heal,” or “to make beautiful.” Raphael is traditionally associated with the Sacrament of Penance, as Confession and forgiveness are aspects of healing.
