When, living in the present in profound attentiveness, we experience "timeless moments" of radical present and Presence, we come very near to God.
~ from TO EVERYTHING A SEASON by Bonnie Thurston
Listen, my heart: love God ceaselessly
As the fish loveth water:
The deeper the water
The happier and more tranquil the fish.
God alone knoweth the suffering
Of fish separated from the waters.
