The eyes of a child

“Nothing I say can explain to you Divine Love

Yet all of creation cannot seem to stop talking about it.”

― Rumi

When I was in college

we used to talk about the existence of God

ah philosophy

a good excuse to sit around

and look profound

much noise

amounting

to not much

in seminary

more of the same

much more

of

the

same

but today I took a walk with Mara

and everything was a mystery

when seen through through the eyes

of a 15 month old

oh, oh, a stick

a piece of clover

a leaf

O wow!!!!

a rock

everything was picked up

everything was marveled over

even the discarded candy rapper

if we want to see God

if we want to grab hold of the mystery

all we have to do

is look at the world

through the eyes of a child!

When we do

There is wonder

There is The Sacred

Everywhere
