An Image From Likeness

When the Word is what we see from, then everything in our natural landscape becomes an opportunity  to see the Divine Human form, to see the Lord. In this video, I offer reflections and thoughts on the Shakespearean Sonnet 116 as it connected for me in the light of Sacred Scripture.

 

AC 5116(2)

they who attribute all things to the Divine, and nothing to nature, are permitted to see not only that everything is from the Divine, but also that everything has a correspondence, and is therefore representative;

and finally they are permitted to see that universal nature is a theater representative of the Lord’s kingdom;

thus that the Divine is in every particular of nature, insomuch that nature is a representation of the eternal and the infinite-of the eternal from propagation even to eternity, of the infinite from the multiplication of seeds to infinity.”

Thanks Sarah, my thoughts took me immediately to 1 Corinthians:13, when you were reading the sonnet which to me added extra depth to the potential of the Lord’s life:love and wisdom married in me. love Judy

1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophecies, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give out all my possessions, and if I give over my body that I be burned, but I do not have love, I am profited nothing. 4 Love patiently endures, is kind; love is not envious; love… Read more »
