THROUGH ALL THE WORLD THERE GOES ONE LONG CRY FROM THE HEART OF THE ARTIST: GIVE ME LEAVE TO DO MY UTMOST ! Babette: Babette’s Feast Babbets Feast Bowl 2018 (Private collection) When we love something, we grant it soul, we see its soul, and we let its soul touch ours. We must love something deeply to know its soul ( anima ). Before the resonance of love, we are largely blind to the meaning, value, and power of ordinary things to “save” us and help us live in union with the source of all being. In fact, until we can appreciate and even delight in the soul of other things, even trees and animals, we probably haven’t discovered our own souls either. Soul knows soul through love, which is why it’s the great commandment (Matthew 22:36). Fr Richard Rohr, daily devotions 6 26 2020 CAC.org Floating Queen Headboard
