Finding God within and in the World

The ground is shaking beneath our feet, do you feel it?  There is a spiritual revolution happening for those who have awakened to God with us and within God's good creation.  God fills us with his Spirit, God is near us when we wake up and when we lie down.  God is in the face of the neighbor, God is with every act of justice, God is with us as we marvel at the stars and the sunrise.

Can you sense it?  A spiritual revolution and an awakening of the soul to the whole cosmos around us.  There is a spiritual revolution of God with us.  Not the religion of dogma or institutions but of a relationship of beauty that God is here in the now and present.  The spiritual revolution is where God and
the world meets in holy communion and sweet embrace.  The spiritual revolution reminds us that we are but dirt and God's love moves both the ground and the galaxies.

We live in a world of wounded landscapes.  We have become disconnected from the very ground and dirt we were created from.  When Jesus rose from the dead, he rose from the ground.  Diana Butler Bass asks, "Might the possibility of resurrection be right under our feet?" (p.50).


Life and destiny are tied to the sold beneath our feet.  The ancients looked to the heaven to find God.  The stars and the heavens still move us to wonder, modern people are discovering that God is as close to us as the soil is to our feet.  The whole universe is God's body and interconnected.  Every living creature and thing is animated by the breath and spirit of God.  God is with us and we are with God.  God is teaching us through this powerful cosmic new spiritual revolution what both the Hebrew and early Christians understood that God is both love and Spirit and near.
