In Gods Eyes I See Beauty

It is so easy to scurry on our path and miss the intimacy of the Divine. Life is fast and full of distractions and shiny objects that depart from the intrinsic beauty around and within us. Stop. Listen. Smell. See…the universe has a gift for you and it is upon you to receive it in it’s glorious wonder.

“God is love.” Anonymous

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”
― Mary Oliver Wild Geese
