I had tea yesterday with a great theologian,
and he asked me,
“What is your experience of God’s will?”
I liked that question –
for the distillation of thought hones thought in others.
Clarity, I know, is freedom.
What is my experience of God’s will?
Everyone is a traveler. Most all need lodging, food,
and clothes.
I let enter my mouth what will enrich me. I wear what
will make my eye content,
I sleep where I will
wake with the
strength to
deeply
love
all my mind can
hold.
What is God’s will for a wing?
Every bird knows
that.
~ St. Teresa of Avila
