As St. Augustine wrote "the
first book written was creation." The
second Bible written was with words. The creation, writing of that first book
has taken billions of years and it is still being written to day. If we were told that there was a person
chosen to continue to write the bible, we all would want to rush and observe
the writing. Why do we not have
reverence and respect for our participation in the ongoing work of being
co-creators of today's creation? This is
our sacred mission in life for which we have been chosen from all of eternity. One of Christ’s "two shoes" is
evolving into reality right where can go and be caught in the miracle of
birthing. In every second the miracle of
creation is right there before us. From
what I am told the birthing of a baby is an awe-full, mysterious, spiritual
experience. I have not had the privilege
of being present at that precious sacramental event, but I am privileged to
witness the ongoing birthing of creation. A reality I not only observe, but am
challenged to be a participant in the act of creation. As I hike a trail even though this trail is
easy to follow, by my traveling that part of creation, I add something else to
that which is already present. My
footsteps add a clearer dimension to that present reality. There is no footstep that is trodden that
does not leave an imprint. So we follow
the the shoe that are there before us. They
do not lead to that which is ordinary, these footprints lead us to an ever
deepening understanding, vision of The Infinite Creator. This Infinite Creator is both our origin and
our destiny. "Humanity, take a good look at yourself. Inside, you have got
heaven and earth, and all of creation. You are a world." What an insight from one who has gone before.
A footprint…???
