When something undesirable grows in my soul, I ask God to give me the courage to mercilessly pluck it out. — Paulo Coelho

You hang out everywhere.
Not a naughty or scary goblin,

Visiting every niche and closet
Where we stuff the undesired
Of our messy, blemished lives,
You haunt territories we ignore,
Hoping we will find you there. — Joyce Rupp
