Grateful for U!

umbrellas

Umbrellas are useful, especially in south TX for rainfall. I've seen people use them also to keep out of the sun, especially at the beach or at soccer games.

When our children were small and still nursing, I would sit under a big beach umbrella at the beach holding my baby while CB would play with the child (or children) in the sand or water. We used to go to the beach every Sunday, but that was before we started going to church in the 1990's.

Unity/ Un-

I am grateful for my understanding of the unity of all life in the One. Here is a quote (Yes, I should have put "quotes" under my Q gratitude!) by Bede Griffiths that describes this unity:

God "cannot be expressed, cannot properly be thought. It is present everywhere, in everything, yet it always escapes our grasp. It is the 'Ground' of all existence, that from which all things come, to which all things return, but which never appears. It is 'within' all things, 'above' all things, 'beyond' all things, but it cannot be identified with anything. Without it nothing could exist, without it nothing can be known, yet it is itself unknown. It is that by everything is known, yet which itself remains unknown. It is 'unseen but seeing, unheard but hearing, unperceived but perceiving, unknown but knowing.' "We speak of 'God' but this also is only a name for this inexpressible Mystery."

(quoted by author Russill Paul in the book Jesus in the Lotus: The Mystical Doorway Between Christianity and Yogic Spirituality on pages ix-x)
