“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” – Rumi

Psalm 96:11-12

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea and what fills it resound; let the plains be joyful and all that is in them. Then let all the trees of the forest rejoice.

What brings more joy than when you experience awe and wonder?

You suddenly come upon a breathtaking sunset.

You look into the eyes of a baby who is smiling at you.

You are singing the words of your favorite song.

You are deeply immersed in your favorite activity.

These are the times when you experience no time.

You are simply in the flow of the present moment.

There is a oneness and unity.

It’s as if all of creation is harmonizing as one majestic masterpiece.

You and I are a part of it.

As Thomas Merton said, “What we have to be is what we are.”

And as Merton wrote in Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander:

“There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun.”

This is the glory of God!

Give thanks!
