"The God who is with us, the very God with us, is not just shedding light on us. God also sheds darkness. It is one thing to trust the God that you comprehend and understand; that's the God of light. It is quite another to trust and believe in the God beyond your comprehension and understanding. That's the God of the night. If all you can trust and have faith in is the God you can comprehend and understand, then who are you worshipping?"
~~Leonard Sweet
Stare into the night sky where there are no city lights, and see the face of the Star Mother. Sit in a forest glade, and listen to the trees sing in the wind. Feel the caress of the wind that threads through the leaves and your hair with gentle fingers and know the God of the Green Wood. Stand amidst the waves as the tide comes in. Feel the sea slide around your feet, inviting you into the primordial ocean.
God/dess is everywhere, in everything. S/He speaks with the voice of thunder and gentle rain, with the tiny sounds of sprouting seeds and baby birds, and in the agony of death by a predator. S/He speaks in our hearts, in our minds, in ways beyond our comprehension. We can glimpse a bit of the Meaning, and feel awe. That awe is true worship.
In Love & Light,
Q.
