Connection To All Things

I went to a Friends/Quaker meeting this morning and, at that meeting, one of the participants spoke passionately of sensing God in all things, particularly a large, old, stately juniper.  The first time that happened to me was many years ago, while sitting on a ledge on the side of Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina.  I love the feeling of knowing and sensing my connection to everything and everyone, finding that love and connection everywhere.  Sensing that causes me to  treat the earth and all of its inhabitants as sacred.
