Some words from Thomas Merton on this snowy winter's day:
Life is this simple:
We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent
and God is shining through it all the time.
This is not just a fable or a nice story.
It is true.
If we abandon ourselves to God
and forget ourselves,
we see it sometimes
and we see it maybe frequently.
God shows Godself everywhere,
In everything,
In people and in things and in nature and in events.
It becomes very obvious that God is everywhere and
in everything and we cannot be without God.
It is impossible.
The only thing is that we don't see it.
