Earth Prayer for the day...

Apprehend God in all things,

for God is in all things.

 

Every single creature is full of God

and is a book about God.

 

Every creature is a word of God.

 

If I spent enough time with the tiniest creature—

even a caterpillar—

I would never have to prepare a sermon.  So full of God

is every creature.

 

        –Meister Eckhart

 

From my somewhat limited reading (although I HAVE read more than just this particular piece) Meister Eckart was a really interesting mystical thinker…  “Every creature is a word of God.”  Now if I can just remember that when Merlin, Odhinn and Freya are fighting on top of me when I’m trying to sleep.  ;)
