How might we find God?

Some find the Divine in nature’s displays, great and small –

when the night skies dance with auroras of blazing colour,

or in a sunrise,

or a tree,

or the whisper of a breeze bearing a delicate spring fragrance.

For some God is in the fond touch of someone we love, or in belonging to a close-knit community.

Some feel God when experiencing great art, or when learning of a just outcome to some legal case.

We might find God in sights as rare as seeing a shooting star, or in acts as familiar and routine as re-awakening each day.

We might seldom dwell on God’s presence; yet the ways in which we might find God are, like God, all around us and without end.
