Get Outside Yourself : notice morning rising
… name what is going on inside and let it be what it is rather than trying to stomp it out or avoid it… see situations from multiple points of view, know that God is in all of them. Lisa Kelly
sometimes nothing wiggles
inside the inside
so i sit
swallow a swig of black brew
wait
watch dawn draw her pale green finger
sketch
hushed mountain silhouette
hold
still breath til morning twilight
commands
coronal coming
enlightens
every green thing and gray heart
signs
the greening of prayer
with possibility
the graying of grief
misplacing yesterday

Lisa Kelly’s quote is found in today’s selection in An Ignatian Book of Days by Jim Manney is a series of daily reflections from the Spiritual Wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Throughout the book we hear the voices of St. Ignatius as well as many great thinkers and writers, long gone and present day, each uniquely revealing the way of finding God in all things. And that is my intention; to find God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality in whatever presents itself to me each day in 2024.
Each day I read, reflect and write on the selection, hoping to articulate the ways in which I come to know God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality via personal experience, impelled by the leading of my inner life.
