The Creator Deals Directly With The Creature : waiting for a cup of tea
Heart to heart… creator deals directly with the creature… everything flows from our connection to God. Without it, it’s hard to sustain fruitful work and a joyful spirit. Jim Manney
silver silence sounds
swells time’s thoughtless mind
thin lines slant curves
convene
i want to say
from nothing … but ….
no thing is not
nothing
something wiggles wrangles
winks
murmuring trails
eau de cologne
if i blink i will surely miss
words fleeting stranger… so …
listening to my toes
i wait
pure perfume penetrates
time’s whirring wiff
stills silver silence
my porcelain cup is polished
waiting for no thing
something spills
fills my teacup
may i serve you?

Jim Manney’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.
