The whole cosmos is a Self-giving of God. And we will find our place in the great dance only to the extent that we love.
~ from CHRIST OF THE CELTS by J. Philip Newell
In the point of rest at the center of our being, we encounter a world where all things are at rest in the same way. Then a tree becomes a mystery, a cloud a revelation, each individual a cosmos of whose riches we can only catch glimpses. The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.
