The Crowning Glory: put stock in Something More
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight.. Proverbs 3.5
close your ears
to people papers posts
pandering rapacious taste
swelling small self to boast
stop stubbornly insisting
stone wall is a door
align stiff necked persistence
with Something More
squeeze the sponge of self absorption
releasing every drop
thirsty receptivity
bids self-worship stop
incline your ear
arrange your ways
welcome Something Greater
abandon prideful praise

The Proverb’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.
