Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ, priest and paleontologist (b.1881- d.1955), spoke often about spirituality and the power of the universe that we are still pondering. This quote inspires me, “Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides, and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.”
I wonder at the possibilities of harnessing “the energies of love.”
I wonder at the possibilities of harnessing “the energies of love.”
That’s what creation is: aliveness. The aliveness Teilhard expressed is a new energy in the soul for love – a love of tenderness, compassion, and caring for all that the Divine has given us on this living planet. Soon all that life could bloom even more, fueled by the energy of love within us.
With the Divine, we can bring forth a new creation to cultivate all of life for the good of all of us. That’s the gift that keeps on giving.
