We live in creation's dawn, and the world, not yet half made, becomes more beautiful every day.


"I used to envy the father of our race, dwelling as he did with the new-made fields and plants of Eden; but I do so no more, because I have discovered that I also live in 'creation's dawn.'  The morning stars still sing together, and the world, not yet half made, becomes more beautiful every day."

The Contemplative John Muir, pp. 289-290

Meditation practice allows us to watch as each moment - each thought, each emotion, each creature - emerges newborn as though out of nowhere from within the vast lake of divine love and awareness.
