Flowing to and from God

God and human beings communicate primarily through words.  Sacred text insinuates God’s will, ways, designs, and dreams into our consciousness.  We, in kind, pray via sacred siddur passages.  But, just as communication happens ineffably, through deeds and other forms of expression, so too communication for non-human entities flows to and from God.  As photosynthesis is about a ‘give and take’ of elements, so too organisms of every variety respond to God in ways commensurate with the flow of sustenance from God to them.  Each morning’s opening blessing, affirms the way the rooster’s response to dawn awakens us to the symphony of nature’s flow to and from God.
