How Would We See God?
“Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow and to love him as they love their cow–they love their cow for the milk and cheese and profit it makes them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God when they love him for their own advantage. Indeed, I tell you the truth, any object you have on your mind, however good, will be a barrier between you and the inmost truth.”
– Meister Eckhart, Meister Eckhart, A Modern Translation by Raymond Bernard Blakney

Life Is a Garden
“life is a garden, not a road
we enter and exit through the same gate
wandering, where we go matters less than what we notice”
– Bokonon

Where Is God?
“Where is God in this picture? God is all over the place. God is up there, down here, inside my skin and out. God is the web, the energy, the space, the light-not captured in them, as if those concepts were more real than what unites them – but revealed in that singular, vast net of relationship that animates everything there is.”
– Barbara Brown Taylor, The Luminous Web
