#SensingMystery

Experiences of awe, wonder and mystery about the natural world. Often also sensed when contemplating human achievement and for some divinity.

#SensingAwareness

Sensing a changed quality in awareness. Often described as the feeling of being ‘at one’ with nature, oneself and others.

We often slip quickly into thinking about ‘things’, or thinking about or experience of things. #SensingAwareness is more about being in a state of awareness of direct experience, mindfulness. The Divine in the world, creating and sustaining all things in being.

The Christian tradition would perhaps describe this as Christfulness.

The voice of God in stone is saying solid

The strength of heaven,
The light of the sun,
The radiance of the moon,
The splendour of fire,
The speed of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of the sea,
The stability of the earth,
The firmness of rock.
