Welcome the Day
Where I sit is holy, holy is this ground.
Forest, desert, mountain, river...
Listen to the sound,
The Holy Spirit does indeed, circle all around .
Welcome the day with gladness, and greet the dawn with praise.
Holiness is not contained in distant sanctuaries but radiates from the Source that sustains all things. Every place becomes a burning bush when we remove the shoes of distraction and stand attentive—the ground was always holy; we simply failed to notice.
The Spirit doesn't descend to certain locations but encircles all creation continuously, waiting only for our awareness to catch up to reality. The Church's mission is to help humanity remove those shoes.
