Awesome beauty.
Amazing love.
Shining light.
A presence.
The Presence.
Little by
little, day by day, may we better sense this and then glimpse this and then see this in ourselves and one another.
Again and again I recall quotes from Thomas Merton about suddenly seeing this way. May his words lead us closer to our own greater awakenings.
"I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire nor self-knowledge can
reach, the core of their reality, the person that each one is in God’s eyes. If only they could all see themselves as they really are. If only we could see each other that way all the time. There would be no more war, no more hatred, no more cruelty, no more greed. . ."
With reverence,
