Sometimes I find it strange that we human beings - when in our religious mode - focus on teachers and human embodiments of the Divine who received their revelations from God thousands of years ago, even though the Great Mystery and Mother Earth want so much to bring us fresh revelation in THIS very moment. Wouldn't we treat the people and the landscapes we meet on a daily basis with more reverence if we learned to see THEM as profound sources of revelation? For example, on this misty day at Bierstadt Lake, I sensed that the expanse of frozen, snow-covered lake was an embodiment of my participation in the vast awareness of the Great Mystery. The ripples on the lake surface mirrored my thoughts and sensations arising each moment out of that vast awareness - a kind of divine creation, happening NOW. The grasses represented individual beings emerging out of that vast lake of love like echoes of a Divine love-word arising seemingly out of nowhere.
