God Always Surprises Us : wherever we are
Every valley shall be lifted up
every mountain and hill made low
the uneven ground shall become level
and the rough places a plain.
Then the glory of God shall be revealed. Isaiah 40.4–5
curious
inquisitive investigating
brows high
eyes wide
emboldened by awe
hollowed throat
channel
for your eager heart
cloaked in pause
of canceled meeting
masked in mischance
of predicament
veiled in danger
of dire straits
wherever you are tickled
there God is
squint
for a glimpse
swivel
for a sighting
scout
the slant
for a glance
of God
hidden
behind tombstones
shrouded
in shadows
buried in blessing
emboldened by awe
wherever you are tickled
there God is

Isaiah’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.
