I read Psalm 139:1-12 which resonated with my soul this morning. In the translation I was using, verse 9 reads like this, "If I climb upward on the rays of the morning sun." I am reminded of six weeks earlier when I was on a retreat at St. Meinrad's Benedictine monastery of St. Benedict's vision reported by St. Gregory. In this vision, St. Benedict saw the whole word gathered up into a single ray of light. It was asked how was it possible to see the whole world in a single ray of light? The answer" the earth grows small when the spirit is enlarged. This is the challenge of the contemplative praying. We become so small that all we see is God.
