The Spirit Of God Is Peaceful : and of course there are dust storms
… we can know the source of a spirit by the feeling it produces. Bitter, anguished self criticism is not from God. Jim Manney
whimsical wind whistles
scattering life’s debris
cluttering my view
confounding my way
ahhhh…. dusty blizzard
squalling the hollows of my gut
insisting i do your bidding
… pull off the road
… park in my place
… turn off my head and hind lights
… stay buckled-in right where i am
wait…. wait…. wait
for the Peace that replaces
life’s dusty debris
with a gentle voice whispering
be here
with Me

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.
