Divinity is not playful. The universe was not made in jest but in solemn incomprehensible earnest. By a power that is unfathomably secret, and holy, and fleet. There is nothing to be done about it, but ignore it, or see.
~Annie Dillard

we don’t look at the mystery without wondering how we can live the whole way through….

inquiry for today~ and how vast is it really? what happens when we lift toward sky?

don’t forget how to love

The hawk knows instinctively that it will not fall. The sky is the one visual constant in all our lives, a complex backdrop to our every venture, thought, and emotion. Yet we tend to think of it as invisible- an absence, not a substance. Though we move through air’s glassy fathoms, we rarely picture it as the thick heavy arena it is. We rarely wonder about the blue phantasm we call the sky. Look at your feet. You are standing in the sky. When we think  of the sky, we tend to look up, but the sky actually begins at the earth. We breathe it deep within us. ~Diane Ackerman
