Awakening to Call


Over the last year I have been reflecting on my personal call from God .This is a Thomas Merton passage I read and found quite beautiful about the universal call of God for every human being inviting you to offer your song
"The first chirps of the waking day birds mark the point vierge of the dawn under a sky as yet without real light,a moment of awe and inexpressible innocence,when the Father in perfect silence opens their eyes.They begin to speak to him,not with fluent song,but with an awakening question that is their dawn state,their state at the point vierge. Their condition asks if it is time for them to be.He answers yes.Then,they one by one waken and become birds.They manifest themselves as birds,beginning to sing.Presently the will be full themselves and begin to fly...All wisdom seeks to collect and manifest itself at that blind sweet point, the virgin point between darkness and light ,between non-being and being."
Called or Collard Francis Dewar p39
