Day 21 : "Awe"
-----
The Moon inspires wonder, curiosity and probably also a certain form of fear, because it is still almost unexplored...
*****
La Lune inspire à la fois de l'émerveillement, de la curiosité et sans doute aussi une certaine forme de crainte, car encore quasi inexplorée...
Stand diligently at the gate of the heart.
-St. Philotheos
The practice of stillness is full of joy and beauty. -

Mysticism is a gift, one for which Teilhard showed a strong predisposition. 1 From an early age and without any sense of where this adventure would lead, he began to explore the mystical desires and intuitions that were stirring within him. An avid thirst for the “Ultimate” and later a deep desire to plunge into the “All” characterize his early search. Never satisfied with partial answers, he spent his life pursuing these foundational instincts. As he came to know more about the cosmos, not only its beauty, but also its structure, its infinities, and its evolutionary process, his sense of God expanded to fill the size of the World, and his naturally contemplative spirit readied him for a much deeper and richer experience—a mysticism that was both satisfying and unique, one that would eventually set his heart on fire with love for the Cosmic Christ.

Taynuilt
The River is only short, around 4 miles. It carries freshwater from Loch Awe and empties into Loch Etive at Taynuilt, which is a sea loch. The river flows from Loch Awe through the Pass of Brander, it is accompanied for most of its length both by the railway from Glasgow to Oban and by the A85 road, both cross the river halfway along its length. The Awe is also crossed by a small road bridge and a foot bridge. It is a very popular salmon fishing river, we didn’t see any sign of salmon but an otter had just swum by shortly before I took this photo.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
The mark of the mystery upon us is a cross. It is fitted on us as wings by which we may join the Dove in full flight. And when the cross is properly adjusted upon our shoulders, then suddenly, surprisingly, kenosis becomes prokope, self-emptying is the way to our deepest fulfillment, death becomes life, Incarnation is Ascension, Ascension is Pentecost, and human beings fall upward under the force of the Holy Spirit’s rising wing.

For detachment is not a withdrawal from love, but an expansion of of love beyond desire. Desire is entangled in time, nostalgic for the past, preoccupied with the future. Love expanding beyond desire is “liberation from the future as well as the past.” What remains is the now “where past and future are gathered,” the “still point.”

Looking up at the top of this old tree is difficult. Between the texture of the bark and the intricate branches of the tree, your vision becomes lost the more you try to focus towards the top.
"An impressive tree by any standard, the Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboidesis) relatively carefree and fast-growing. Its fine, feathery leaves are certainly a standout feature, and even though this tree is deciduous, it produces rounded cones. The dawn redwood was long thought to be extinct — with evidence of its existence found among dinosaur fossils — until it was discovered alive and well in a rural, mountainous area of China. It is now grown worldwide."

Cooper giving it his best for that "Awe" look. He really doesn't need to try, it just comes naturally for him being a Golden Retriever.

As he lingered on Lipsi that fall, he began to see that his vision hadn't been capacious enough. He had been looking at parts rather than the whole, searching for models rather than an understanding of the greater scheme of things. The oneness of humanity--of all of life--wasn't something to be sought, he realized, but something to be recognized and embraced. The life flowing in his veins had been flowing in veins since the beginning of time or longer. The enduring nature of life was the important thing to understand:
the continuity of life is
its meaning: it begins from
eternity & flows to eternity
there is no right way of
singing a given song: but
all ways are more or less
right
the variations of tone we
bring to our roles give life
its color: whether we will (to)
or not, we add variations
there is no one character in
whom the Lord would dwell &
not in others
he who dances in the middle
of the room, dances for me;
he who sits in the corner
watching, watches for me
...it is not that our lives
should so radically change,
but rather our understanding
of them

Qu'il est bon de rendre grâce au Seigneur,
de chanter pour ton nom, Dieu Très-Haut,
d'annoncer dès le matin ton amour,
ta fidélité, au long des nuits,
sur la lyre à dix cordes et sur la harpe,
sur un murmure de cithare.
Psaume 91

To speak about God in human words,of coarse, is an attempt what is logically not possible. To speak from God, if haltingly, in the language of the poets and mystics, is quite another matter. For Love, yearns to speak, is diffusive of Itself, and cannot remain silent. Both the artist and the theologian who have come to trust in Love are compelled to sing for a silent yet everywhere symphonic God.
