A Sabbath Poem (Eckhart)

by FaithHouseManhattan

God in All Things
-By Meister Eckhart

Apprehend God in all things,
for God is in all things.

Every single creature is full of God
and is a book about God.

Every creature is a word of God.

If I spent enough time with the tiniest creature–
even a caterpillar–
I would never have to prepare a sermon.  So full of God
is every creature.

This poem is a part of a series that comes from the book “Earth Prayers,” a collection of daily earth honoring poems and prayers
