dailydatewithgod

The Persian mystic poet, Hafiz creates life-giving playful depictions of God.  It is simply a joy to see God through his eyes. My eyes have been opened to seeing God in many new ways since embarking on my journey of recovery. The very least I have learned from my daily dates with God is how much God is present through simple existence.  I say simple not because existence is easy or simplistic, but because it is fundamental.  We often want to find God in extraordinary and majestic ways and there is nothing wrong with being dazzled by God, it’s quite fun.  More often than not, the path of spirituality is about witnessing and embodying the presence of God in all of existence.  Over and over again it is the simple moments of being which bring me to meet God.  The more I am willing to let go of how I think God could, would, or should show up, the more I am graced by God’s presence in the littlest elements of existence.  The beauty of this openness is the degree to which it lightens the experience of existing.  Life takes on new meaning when we can see the thread of love’s presence in all that is.  Yes, even the dark and messy stuff have light connected to it. The beauty of existence is, in fact, it’s simply being what is.
