The World Is A Self-Creating Mystery

The world as pure object is something that is not there. 
It is not a reality outside us for which we exist....
It is a living and self-creating mystery of which 
I am myself a part, to which 
I am myself, my own unique door.
~Thomas Merton, Contemplation in a World of Action

The Mystery Of God Touches Us With Love

The mystery of God touches us -- or does not -- in the smallest details:
giving a strawberry, with love;
receiving a touch, with love;
sharing the snapdragon red of an autumn sunset, with love.
~ Marion Woodman, Coming Home to Myself
