CAC Poetry and
Prayer Retreat – Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, NM Contemplative
Prayer Sit Readings “The greatest thing
a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what he saw in a plain way. To see clearly is
poetry, prophecy, and religion all in one.” ~John Ruskin “O sweetest love of
God, too little known, he who has found thee is at rest. Let everything
change O my God that we may rest in thee… …O Lord, I beseech
thee, leave me not for a moment, because I know not the value of my soul.” ~St. John of
the Cross “I am so small I
can barely be seen. How can this great
love be inside me? Look at your eyes. They are small, but they see enormous things.” ~Rumi “You can say that the eyes see God, but it is God who sees, as in the Qur’an
when the desert mountain looks at God, and eyes appear on every stone.” ~Rumi Centering Somewhere beyond empty and full there is a place of space, quiet, blessed darkness No
longer in or out beyond knowing there is a place of rest, wonder possibility it simply Is all it takes to get there is my Yes! A
place as close as my heartbeat steadfast and patient it waits as I open the door to my heart Love
opens many doors ~Kim Caird |
