Carl Jung has often been quoted as having told a story about a rabbi who was asked, "Why is it that in the days of the bible, God appeared to the people, but today nobody ever sees God?" The rabbi answered, "Because today, nobody can bow low enough." Perhaps too, it is because we are not looking. God does appear - everywhere and in all things - but we are too busy to see, or we have confined our experience of God to church and someplace over our heads called heaven. But our Creator is always present, if we only open our eyes, our hearts, our ears to experience God. Take this time in Lent to be still to hear God, to look to see Christ in all people, to feel the movement of the Holy Spirit in your heart calling you into the world to love and serve all of God's creation.
