Esther De Waal says in her book “Every Earthly blessing”: “The Celtic experience was thus a religious universe. It is not static or dead, but a dynamic, living, powerful universe, reflecting a power which comes ultimately from God.”
Today we pray to establish a deeper relationship with this universe, “speaking to it,” listening to the gentle voice of God in the breeze that brushes against your cheek, the sun that warms your brow, the trees, flowers and grass that soothe and unite you with all your senses. May the eyes of your soul reveal to you how closely connected you are to God through the beauty of the nature that surrounds you. May the sky, the land and the sea be experienced as a holy embrace, an embrace of God’s love surrounding and healing your heart and soul.
Today place yourself in a quiet place of nature. Allow the sky to be a canopy of awe and wonder for you. Allow the sounds and sights of the birds and flowers to sooth and connect you to a new well of living water where God awaits with to drink deeply from.
May the prayer of the inhaling and exhaling of your breath today be: “Dear Lord in your creation I am fully alive…Here I find your love for me.”
