"Look for Christ everywhere, in your “being" and in your "doing." Find him in the scriptures. Find him in your prayers. Find him in your passions. Find him in your dreams. Find him in your fears. Find him when feelings of melancholy overtake your heart. Find him when a memory produces a wistful sigh. Find him in your deep desires for sexual intimacy. Find him on the mountains and in the valleys, in the rivers and in the desserts. Find him in the crash of a wave and in the cry of an eagle. Find him in the stunning colors and subtle hues of a sunrise or a sunset. Find him in the way droplets of dew capture the sunlight. Find him at the first instant you notice a change in seasons. Find him in Michelangelo and find him in Frank Lloyd Wright. Find him in Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Emily Dickinson and John Grisham. Find him in Mozart, and find him in U2. Find him in “Casablanca” and find him in “The Matrix.” Find him in the intricacy of a computer chip and the vastness of the Golden Gate Bridge. Find him in the smile of a child and the tears of an orphan. Find him in the glow of a bride and the despair of the homeless. Find him in the joy of a grandfather and the sadness of a widow. Find him in the living, and find him in the dying. Find him with your eyes, your ears, your nose, your hands and your imagination. Let what you take in stir your heart and take you to Christ."
