everywhere at once.
i met a stranger last night who inadvertently convinced me to start a blog.
and now, because i’ve done this thing,
and i can’t think of what to start with,
i’m going to ramble on about some of my recent musings.
do bear with me.
firstly,
omnipresent:
being present everywhere at once.
while i was ambling aimlessly around downtown blacksburg yesterday, i thought about the times when i’ve recognized the omnipresence of God. my thoughts led my heart to the candlelight vigils held at Virginia Tech for the memory of those students who lost their lives. it seems to me that God is present in every flame, every heart, and every tear. each flame illuminates the coexsisting divinity and humanity of each tear. God is everywhere, expressing his love.
as my consciousness wandered on, i found myself taking wearied steps on the Appalachian Trail. climbing every mountain and fording every stream is not so simple as it sounds. but there’s something very sacred about reaching the peak of a mountain. sore legs and lungs grasping for air have a very humbling effect, and make the views from mountaintops ever more poignant. 
from a view like this, i can feel God in the air. he is everywhere here, expressing his love.
don’t we live in a beautiful world?
