Suffering from news exhaustion, this
writer scanned her
notes from years ago to find a topic for
today’s blog. Here goes.
Many years ago, I heard on the radio
the recorded sound of Earth spinning through space –
It was totally absorbing; evoking feelings of fragility, wonder, fear
Spinning through space – day and night -
so ordinary, we take this for granted.
Yet, the sound, in a way, becomes
an experience of this phenomenon –
not so ordinary
Sometimes, no more accidental
than the sound of journeying through the universe we glimpse or intuit our Source and Sustainer -
At times, we experience mystery
which resounds, and surrounds us,
swirling us inward and outward and onward
quietly………… into the pulsing heart of God.
Dear Reader, may you find refreshment, energy and peace.
Dear Sister thank you for this good poem, I could use this in a little book I am writing. This is the most important point of all, that our home this fragile world, is an undeniable living miracle, every second of our existence, and we have been granted the thinking to understand how completely unexplainable and improbable the whole business of our being here alive today — how many ten thousand mothers and fathers had to have existed in an unbroken chain before us, how far back do we go, do we even find our way to the primeval slime swamp when we were the little microbes swimming in a happy soup? God be praised! Alleluia! Let the earth sing loud and clear, I heard her the other day, it was Gregorian, Laudate Pueri she said. God bless OSB amen
