“Meditating upon the world around as and at our feet, can raise our hearts and minds to God. Today’s reflection from the Daily Mass

Pablo Picasso said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
As we grow up, we can so easily lose our sense of imagination and creativity, thinking that play is just for children. What we think is possible can become clipped, and we can settle for the ordinary. That’s not to suggest that the ordinary isn’t important. Perhaps it would be better to say that we can so often fail to see the wonder in the everyday.
“From the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator,” we read in the book of Wisdom. Perhaps we can relate to that at times. A beautiful sunset, a vast open landscape, a sky-blue sea. But we don’t have to climb mountains or travel abroad for awe inspiring moments in the midst of creation.
We know that being grounded in the natural world can help improve our mental health. But as Christians we know that we can’t separate the creation from its creator. So meditating upon the world around as and at our feet, can raise our hearts and minds to God. He reveals himself to us in so many ways, if only we can pause awhile and watch and wonder.
