Mornings with God

Most of us no longer enjoy a sacred consciousness in our world, and Sunday services do not appear to overcome this. We really are disconnected from one another and the divine, and are thereby unconscious. Religion's main and final goal is to reconnect us (re-ligio) to the Whole, to ourselves, and to one another—and thus heal us. When you just keep telling people how unworthy they are, it seems to become a self-fulfilling sermon.

I read

and read some more

I study and think

and pray and worship

I write sermons

and put together liturgies

I write blogs

and post on facebook

but in the end

it is walks in the open spaces

beneath my beloved mountain

it is rubbing noses with Sadie (alpha mare)

and snuggling with Tess the Wonder Cat

it is listening to  a person with mental illness

and sitting with a man whose wife has died

it is singing a song of joy

that lifts my heart

why?

because it is in such moments that union

and communion happen

it is in such moments that I meet myself

and others

and it is in such moments

that I meet

God
