Connection to the Mysteries

Painting of ocean and shore under moonlight with person sleeping in a cart on the sand

“At night, Jesus would lay awake watching the stars before the gentle lull of the lapping waves sent him to sleep. . .
Once, he had been startled into wakefulness by an unfamiliar sound but soon realised it was the eerie calling of passing whales communicating with each other as they sang of their joy for life. And as their song resonated deep within his soul, Jesus felt the greatness and generosity of their spirit. Their relevance and connection to the mysteries of the universe.”
