I think of Malvina Reynolds's wonderful song, Magic Penny: "Love is something, if you give it away, give it away, give it away, love is something, if you give it away, you end up having more. It's just like a magic penny: hold it tight and you won't have any. Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor! Love is something, if you give it away, give it away, give it away, love is something, if you give it away, you end up having more. So let's go dancing till the end of day, and if there's a piper, we can pay! For love is something, if you give it away, you end up having more!"
Give to us a merciful heart... and St Isaac the Syrian is right about a life dedicated to prayer and solitude.
