Absurd Beauty

O God, my God, how excellent are all your works. Sitting in your Presence I am amazed at the beauty and the absurdity. That I should be a part of Your creation leaves me humbled.

On a recent trip to California to see our children and grandchildren we spent some time in Mendocino County along Highway 1. There were moments of trail running, sea lion watching, rock climbing, and simple inhalations of life.

Every footstep, every breath, every child, every creature a wonderment, a miracle, a reflection of The Presence - everything, including me. Such beauty and such absurdity. 

When we open ourselves to both the Presence and the possibilities life unfolds and in that moment there is an explosion of joy that satisfies the soul's craving for love.
