the dance, thursday

Thursday, April 23

Opening Prayer: O God, union with you is a song that does not die in the hearing, a flavor which does not abate in the eating, and embrace which gives delight without end. ~St. Augustine

Scripture: Isaiah 55:12-13

Journal: When was the last time you became aware of God’s dancing and singing presence in the midst of his creation?  How did you recognize it?  What gave you eyes to see it?  What will help you see in that way more often?

Reflection:
 
The universe is dancing.  And the smallest bit of matter knows, unerringly and interiorly, the dance.  Let there be no more talk of flashing signal lights.  No more solitary figures sending out messages in quantum bottles to be picked up light years later on some distant star.  No more cumbersome cosmic intelligence network dependent on the measurable flight of photons.  The timing of this dance must take into account something more than the speed of light.  It must take in to account a “knowing” universe. (And the Trees Clap Their Hands by Virginia Stem Owens)

Prayers

Closing Prayer: The heavens are telling the glory of God and all of creation is shouting for joy.  Come dance in the forest, come play in the field and sing, sing to the glory of the Lord. (Canticle for the Sun)
