Help[Opinions] Re: Avila
in reply to a message by Siri
I really like it--there's a wonderful text by St. Teresa of Avila that I think you might like:
Nada te turbe;
nada te espante;
todo se pasa;
Dios no se muda.
La paciencia todo alcanza.
Quien a Dios tiene
nada le falta.
Solo Dios basta.
(Let nothing disturb you,
nothing frighten you,
All things are passing.
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Whoever has God lacks nothing.
God is enough.)
Avila brings those to mind for me. I dig it a lot. Avila Celeste doesn't have quite the rhythm I'd prefer, but it's pretty.

Thanks, I love that quote. I'm actually printing it out right now. Celeste is the name I pair with all my new favorites before I find something that matches it. Nothing is really calling to me with Avila...it needs something feminine yet strong to pair with it. I'm not sure I have a name to match it on my list.
