DEVOTIONAL #7
Written by Timothy Brainard
Today’s spark is “Be Impeccable. Know Only Beauty.” Everything we truly know, we carry in our structure – like a memory or secret – woven right into the marrow of our bones. This Knowing is distinguished from the “knowledge” we’ve collected – it predates our best ideas – it is written on the fabric of the soul. This Knowing gives experience and observation meaning: value we can sense more deeply than describe. We soften into darkness and the quietude of nighttime without questioning the coming of the day. We celebrate the spectacle of Autumn demonstration – though we’d mourn it if the Spring were not assured. Such Knowing offers context we depend upon completely. There is meaning in the moment. Promise dances like a lover, unconcealed. The question isn’t whether trees will radiate with color, nor what causes this to happen when they do. The question is: will we enjoy the vision? Will we celebrate the dancer? Will we recognize the promise in the leaves? How much of what we claim to know can we assert as thoroughly as breath affirms the covenant of air? How much do we know truly? Which ideas spark amazement? Which of our collected theories serves the evidence of Providence inherent to the beating of a heart? The fact is we can know the Truth, directly and completely. We can choose to see the Beauty. We can dignify the wisdom in our bones.
