God’s a hidden Presence
This truth we are aware
If we let nature speak
We see, He’s everywhere
Through beauty of this world
When we pause and still
These wonders indicate
Gods’ Presence and His will
Though the book of nature
Can’t be reduced to words
Gods’ characteristics
And activity is heard
How do the sun and stars?
The rhythm of our days
Speak of God’s great glory
Wonder and His ways
As we become attune
To listen and to seek
Through nature of surrounding
Are means which God can speak
(based upon words by Henri Nouwen)

When I teach RCIA this time of year I always remark about how time (solar cycles, lunar cycles, Equinox, Solstice) plays a role in the liturgical calendar. We are very attached to this beautiful gift of Eden called Earth.
