NATURE AS MIRROR

Can  you feel the  spiritual ecology we’ve been talking about? If you live  in a fully connected  world, you’re saved every day, just by playing  your part. You are grabbed by  God, and you belong to this universe,  along with everything else. I was  recently feeling discouraged and  irritated, and I went out to my garden and  spotted a green “stick bug”  happily chewing on my flowers, almost completely  camouflaged next to  the stem. This bug’s simple but amazing existence  completely took away  all of my negativity. Life was again wondrous and  miraculous.

At  a recent  retreat I gave on the Scottish island of Iona—which was the  center point for  the diffusion of Celtic Christianity—the attendees  remarked how the Celtic  "knot" was found on most crosses, gravestones,  in manuscripts, and on  jewelry. It was apparently their  artistic way  of saying that all is connected, everything belongs, and all is  one in  God. They knew about ecosystems long before we did. ALL was held   together inside the divine knot that made it one.

T.S.  Eliot ends  his famous "Four Quartets" quoting Dame Julian, and saying  the same: “And  all shall be well and / All manner of thing shall be  well / When the tongues of  flame are in-folded / into the crowned knot  of fire.”

From Richard Rohr:  In the Footsteps of Francis: Awakening to Creation
