Either Side of the River

"On either side of the river lie, long rows of barley and of rye, that clothe the world and meet the sky, and through the field the road run by to many towered Camelot...." - Lord Alfred Tennyson's, The Lady of Shalott.

"Next, the soul's eyes must be kept on God, particularly when something is being done in the outside world. Since much time and effort are needed to perfect this practice, one should not be discouraged by failure. Although the habit is difficult to form, it is a source of divine pleasure once it is learned... However, remeber to keep your mind from wandering or returning to the world. Hold your attention on God alone by exercising your will to remain in His presence... [in this way] the sooul could be said to approach God, in that it can almost say, 'I no longer believe, but I see and experience.'"

- Brother Lawrence, the practice of the presence of GOD

Let us journey to the point where we can truely say, "I no longer just believe, but I see and experience the living God."
