My heart aches in certain moments. In a video I saw yesterday, Phileena Heuertz describes what her heart breaks for, and her description of the moments when we feel and sense, taste for a moment that “we’re all sustained by the life and energy of God, the love of God”
For her, and for me, those moments are often when in the midst of the created world– not inside, in the air conditioned room with the leather chair and window– but outside, under the sun, air full of pollen or dust or what have you. I really love this video, it reminded me of some of my “moments,” and then it went on to talk what Sara Groves calls “the fine art of being who you are.” In so many ways, I think I’m just now figuring out who I am made to be.

“there’s so much beauty & life & energy cooperation going on in the created world and I’m inspired by that and I see that those creatures bring so much glory to God, how much does God delight in the created world. The flowers out there being all that they can be as a flower…”
Reminds me of how Jesus taught us through flowers and sparrows.
