God's Word is in All Creation

God's Word is in All Creation

No creature has meaning

without the Word of God.

God's Word is in all creation, visible and invisible.

The word is living, being,

spirit, all verdant greening,

all creativity.

This Word flashes out in

every creature.

this is how the spirit is in

the flesh -- the Word is invisible from God.

~Poetry of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179)

A lovely little creature "God's Word is IN" ~ Lakeview Methodist Conference Center near Palestine, TX

The only noise now was the rain ...

“The only noise now was the rain, 

Lakeview Methodist Conference Center

 pattering softly with the magnificent indifference of nature 

for the tangled passions of humans.”

~ Sherwood Smith

Life ... on the Path

Prayer Trail at Lakeview Methodist Conference Center near Palestine, TX

  In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, 

and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. 

Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.  

~Mahatma Gandhi

Late Afternoon HAIKU at the Wesley Center

spring lake silence shines
ripples kiss the rocky edge
bird reflects on life
