Open Our Eyes




"The eye with which I see God
is the same one with which
God sees me."
Meister Eckhart


Imagery of the Divine is quite expansive.  It differs between countries, cultures, religions, and even from person to person.  When portrayed in art work, God can take on numerous images and diverse form.  When looking for Divine Spirit, one can embrace music, nature, or silent contemplation.

When our relationship with God is personal, we may think less of an image and more of abilities to listen, understand, respond or convey.  If our Divine is as vast as the sea, our connection depends more upon imaginable abilities  superior from the senses of man, woman, or child.

Creative visualization beckons us into dreamlike realms where structure as we know it fades away.  With guided meditation, we are relaxed to the point veils slip exposing unworldly dimensions.  In the depths of prayer, all of our senses open beyond the Universe.  Experience God in the beating of a heart; breath work; yoga; creative expression; the setting sun or the rising moon; and the whispers in the wind and the roar of the waves. God is ever present if we take the time to open our eyes fully.
