Every morning, I walk my dogs next to the Intra Coastal Waterway where we live. This is my very special prayer time. I see my God in the fast-flowing water, the majestic trees, and the sun that fights its way through fleecy clouds. I see Him everywhere. I feel his presence in the breeze. I hear Him in the call of the birds. The "big book" is very much a part of my life.
While I was until now unaware of this Scottish philosopher, it resonates with what a dear (departed) friend would say: - he met the divine in nature, on city streets, in domestic pets, people. He didn’t go to church regularly (I think the institutional church disappointed him - Catholicism - which he viewed as corrupted).
