About the energy of love

The energy of existence
emanates from the heart of God.

If we would 'touch' God,
help us to become aware
that every beat of our heart,
every breath that we breathe, 
everything that we see and hear, 
that we taste and touch,
connects us to God.

God is tangible.


Another short prayer for the day

Help us to appreciate the blessings
and cope with the difficulties  
and the everyday tasks of this day
as they arise.

From Julian of Norwich, Chapter 26 - "I it am"

I know I said that I wouldn't post any more of Julian's revelations of Divine Love because there is so much available on google, so why this?
I decided a few months ago to try and read a page or two of the book at bedtime and a couple of weeks ago, came to one of the parts I really love and just felt I had to share it so here goes.

THE TWENTY-SIXTH CHAPTER

.....I was learned that our soul shall never have rest till it cometh to him, knowing that he is fulness of joy, homely and courteous, blissful and very life.
 Our Lord Jesus oftentimes said: "I it am, I it am: I it am that is highest, I it am that thou lovest, I it am that thou likest, I it am that thou servest, I it am that thou longest for, I it am that thou desireth, I it am that thou meanest, I it am that is all.  ..........".  And  ....... the joy that I saw (in these words)  passeth all that the heart may wish for and soul may desire. 

I do not know what it is that I find so compelling in the rhythmical pulse of these words, the poetry of their expression. 
I can but post them in the hope that someone else may feel the same.
