We see what we want to see. I went in search of an eagle today. I had seen it two years ago and knew where the nest was. I could not really see anything at first glance. I peered a little, raised my camera and took a shot in faith that what I thought might be an eagle was indeed.
It was not until I uploaded the photo that I confirmed I was correct. Life is like that some days; we do not see clearly until later. Our intuition tells us to trust beyond our vision. Can we see beyond the visible? Does the sacred whisper to us some days and we recognize it in the hush? God is in the silence. The Divine is present even if the picture is not totally in focus. Can we trust that?
Peace,
Suzanne
Reflection Questions
Is seeing believing?
Are you attentive to God-whispers?
Prayer
Do I spot You in this daily game of hide-and-seek? Ah, Divine Creator, You are in all things, whispering teasingly for us to pay attention. Give me eyes of faith to see. Amen.
God in all things 
I trust that that the eagle is there…but I’d like to see it. Where is it pray tell? 🙂
Monica, look to the right of the clearing in the branches. You will see two boughs of leaves. Between those you can catch a glimpse of the white head of the bald eagle and its brown body. If you follow the rule of thirds, it is in the centre of the right vertical third.
Oh I see! Very camouflaged. Thanks 🙂
