Contemplative Haven: Displays of Love 
Displays of Love
The Canada geese flew over our house the other evening, and again this morning, heading north. Two of the largest V-formations I have ever seen. You can hear them approaching about a minute or so before they arrive, their honking scurrying you out of the house, neighbours popping out of back doors to gaze up at their wondrous, fleeting passage.
The backyard is home now to robins, sparrows, chickadees, mourning doves and occasionally, blue jays and cardinals.
My cup runneth over.
"Lord, it is you who, through the imperceptible goadings of sense-beauty, penetrated my heart in order to make its life flow out into yourself. You came down into me by means of a tiny scrap of created reality; and then, suddenly, you unfurled your immensity before my eyes and displayed yourself to me as Universal Being."
