Little Things With Great Love: coo-OO-oo
We cannot do great things on this earth. We can only do little things with great love. Mother Teresa
let café au lait linger on my tongue
savor bare feet slap stomp slap stomp of grandson
watch palm shadows bend shrink disappear
bask in bouquet of cut grass perfume
sing like a rock star in my car
sip sparkle chill water in crystalline glass
settle my head on silk pillow
fold napkins like orgami crane
speaking of folding
I’ve laundry to fold
my pup to hold
daughter to be told “I love you”
bird feeder to fill step back be still
listen coo-OO-oo croons morning dove
ahhh so many things to love
Poem by Debra Asis
Mother Teresa’s above quote is found in today’s selection in An Ignatian Book of Days by Jim Manney, 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.
