Dearest God,

This morning I witnessed two beautiful sights.  The first when I was writing to you, I watched as the moon, a bright orange ball slowly descend to earth.  The second a few minutes later when I drove to the monastery, I watched as the sun, a larger orange sphere appear from the horizon and begin its climb to the sky.  I could hardly keep my eyes on the road.  After being taken by their beauty, I was captured by the thought of their ability to rise and fall at the your word.

It seems nature has so many messages for us.  If we pause and look beyond the obvious we will gain much more as we trust you to show us heaven's communique.  And why wouldn't you speak to us?  You are God; we are children.  We have a relationship and like children we need to learn from you.

Speak to us,
O God,
help us see
the cosmos
through your eyes.
Teach us
the lessons
of life
and faith.
Draw us
to you,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
