The Gateway To All Discernment : directing the will outside or in
… be aware, seek to be sufficiently ‘within’ so that what is stirring spiritually in our hearts becomes present to our consciousness. Timothy Gallagher, OMV
counting bricks
of my neighbor’s wall
minding merciless
media’s call
rounding up
rounding down
misses the mark
of gravid ground
law is writ
outside and in
tuned to approval
or begin
to discern light
in hiddenness
my inner self
risk to possess
listen for
faint Voiceless Voice
directing dance
compelling choice
frees me from
outer law’s claim
i strive for power
praise and gain
nothing
bright way of life
hides
in the dark
where my will
counts bricks
for my better part

Timothy Gallagher, OMV’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.
