What Do I Love When I Love My God? : Everything is holy
God transcends the beauty and sweetness of the world, yet our experience of God is mysteriously anchored in our everyday experience. Jim Manney
Fire in my belly wakes me
from a dream?
to a dream?
Words spill from my limp lips
sun slips her alluring fingers
anoints my sleeping eyes
I love you fills
the air
of my solitary cell
Who is I?
Who is you?
What is this love words confess?
I love the yearning of clouds
sifting snow feathers
I love the urging of sun
spilling gold paint on piñon
I love the want in my belly
sanctifying this day
Let blessing words spill
from my lips fill
the air with I love you.
Everything is holy.
Poem by Debra Asis
Jim Manney,SJ ‘s prayer above is found in to today’s selection in An Ignatian Book of Days by Jim Manney, 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.
