Contemplating Nature

Frank and Griffin on the edge of the Grand Canyon in 1999
We do not cease to march towards heaven by stopping before the lilies of the field. On the contrary, by allowing our souls to vibrate in unison with created things, we make our hearts more human, and reproduce the action of the Incarnate Word, who himself stopped before these created splendors to contempate there the traces of eternal love.
—Emile Mersch, The Theology of the Mystical Body of Christ

    What a beautiful thought to carry into the weekend. ...our souls vibrating in unison with creation... And that in meditating on creation we aren't static in our spiritual journey. Lovely, simply lovely.

    I so wish my soul was vibrating in unison with the beach instead of cleaning the house!:) Here I am, once again, procrastinating and dreaming!!!
