Lights of Holiness

Photos from Fort Snelling State Park.

Observe the light of divine presence that pervades all existence. Observe the harmony of the heavenly realm, how it pervades every aspect of life, the spiritual and the material, which are before your eyes of flesh and your eyes of the spirit. Contemplate the wonders of creation, the divine dimension of their being, not as a dim configuration that is presented to you from the distance but as the reality in which you live. Know yourself, and your world; know the meditations of your heart, and of every thinker; find the source of your own life, and of the life beyond you, around you, the glorious splendor of the life in which you have your being.
Abraham Isaac Kook

Today I'm grateful for: good friends with whom to travel; the beauty of this part of the world; my friend Monica; the Sisters of St. Joseph; human creativity and curiosity and the good things it produces; my health.
Holding in prayer today: JK, MB, PC and others struggling with health problems; sisters preparing to go to Uganda; a misunderstanding; the folks at Twitter; lonely people; MM, SG, BT; the Sisters of St. Joseph in Hawaii.
