“In each one of you there is a hidden being, still in the deep sleep of childhood. Bring it to life! In each one of you there is a call, a will, an impulse of nature, an impulse toward the future, the new, the higher. Let it mature, let it resound, nurture it! Your future is not this or that; it is not money or power, it is not wisdom or success at your trade — your future, your hard dangerous path is this: to mature and to find God in yourselves.”
-Herman Hesse, 1919
It is entirely possible that I have spent more time alone in the past 6 months than I have in the past 6 years.
In this solitude I have found far more than God in myself.
I have witnessed God all around me, above me, beneath me, within me.
God is Mother Earth and Father Sky, the Holy Spirit in the air I breathe.
To contain God in myself, or in any manner, is a laughable idea.
But to create space for myself to witness and be in relationship with God;
To better know that quiet part of me that reflect God's love;
This is the life and the seeking I choose.
