St Francis [of Assisi] found the transcendent not 'out there' but 'in here'—the transcendent was largely revealed at the depth and 'inner' of things. This is what we actually mean by 'angels.' Angels are the transcendent within of things. Everything, therefore, has its angel or 'messenger'! They make all things 'fly,' as it were, and all things are messengers of deeper messages. -- a parsed quote of Fr. Richard Rohr from 2013
I love that quote so much that it almost hurts. I have pondered it many times over the years...the first time I posted it, I admitted I did not yet know its underlying meaning but the beauty of it enwrapped me.
The beauty still holds me close, plus I have found my inner meaning. A BFO...blinding flash of the obvious...that I experience is an angel. I have always known that I just did not know its name. I do not hesitate to claim it now as my Truth.
Each BFO contains a deeper meaning that lifts my Soul. It brings the proverbial spiritual in nature feeling to my heart and head whether I "get" the deeper meaning immediately or not. That is beyond simple security...joy, peace, love and laughter pop, seemingly from my toes to my nose...and I am peaced.
The lesson alearning is to enwrap that feeling within me...without care, it can be usurped by ego's self-centered fear, and it is a climb back up. Ah, but with God all things are possible.
Thank you.
