Lingering and Remembering: smell the coffee
God’s touch, though taking place in a moment of time, lives on within us forever. We can continue to let an experience of God bear fruit within us by going back to it and lingering over it. Maureen Conroy
damp pine bark
sweet orange and peppermint bouquet
dewy morning dawdles
wood pulp vanilla
dank old things and green tea
midday must procrastinates
rosedipped cedarwood
steamy blackberries and still
hushed night shuffles settles
wake up smell morning coffee
something is lingering inside every moment
longing to be remembered
it is heaven scent

Maureen Conroy’s quote is found in today’s selection in An Ignatian Book of Days by Jim Manney, SJ, 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.
