Divine Encounters

Somewhere in the synapses of memory there can be this sense of having been in contact with the divine, even before having the ability to attach any verbiage to the feeling. Maybe it happens when one is very small and there is that faint memory of lying in bed between two parents feeling wrapped in love and at once having a pre-cognitive thought - magical wish - of wanting to keep things just like this forever! Isn’t that the thought that lingers throughout a lifetime even as the magical wish fades in the face of reality. But never let it fade even when reality becomes a naysayer to the divine. The possibilities of divine encounters within a single day are endless. Look at any given moment in a day and the divine is present. Ah, the sacrament of the present moment. Sacrament offers grace. Take in the divine grace that life has to offer. Be open to the experience of the divine - let it refill those memory synapses with the joy of being wrapped in love. Hold on to the magical wish for it to stay like this forever! The encounter with the divine awaits.
