Fractal Earth Image

All around us providence has placed hosts of silent messengers who can lead us without effort by paths of love to the holy springs of peace. Water, wood, fishes, the morning dew, the cock crowing at dawn, should all be able to inspire our prayer. Pierre Charles

no thing
no place
no one is not holy
essence in substance
divine signature

every appetising apricot
anointed
every nebulous cloud
sanctified
every wheezing creature
consecrated

no leaf no land no life
unkissed
by the hallowed lips
of holiness
made in its own image

fractal crowning of creation
sacred stuff self-replicating
grace of grist
soul of substance
super galaxie or quark

no thing
no place
no one is not holy
essence in substance
divine signature

Pierre Charles’ 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.
