[blockquote source=”Anthon St. Maarten”]“You are one thing only. You are a Divine Being. An all-powerful Creator. You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.”  [/blockquote]

American author Fr. Thomas Keating once likened the deepening of his relationship with the Divine as, “two friends sitting in silence, being in each other’s presence.”

We’ve all experienced this now, haven’t we? To be in the company of such effortlessness, in which the act of being is blessing enough. No words spoken, yet nothing is left unsaid – our connection reinforced through the auspices of awareness.

When we are able to look beyond this physical realm, to appreciate the fullness of our interconnectedness—only then, may we begin to know the infinite manifestations of the Divine.

The deepening is what draws us nearer, an indelible connection forged of life and of love—and, appreciated in these moments of stillness.

[blockquote source=”Robin Craig Clark”]“Our duty is wakefulness, the fundamental condition of life itself. The unseen, the unheard, the untouchable is what weaves the fabric of our see-able universe together.”
[/blockquote]

To that end, perhaps the Divine isn’t so very far off at all? And, only as far as the spirit is willing?
