my eyes opened little by little

God wants us to see him, recognize him, come to him, know him. He is always standing at the door and knocking. It turns out that we just aren't paying attention. He wants to speak to us, to show us the way. But we have to, like St Ignatius, open our eyes little by little, till we take in more and more of the reality beyond this present temporal one. It is as if we are walking in a hall way and as we walk along, we notice, or we don't notice, that the sides of the hall are windows. covered with long curtains. Then we notice, or we don't notice, that some light is coming from outside, through a small opening in the curtain. We ignore this, or we walk up to this opening. We look into this opening, to get a glimpse . If we look out to see what is out there we are allowing our eyes to open, little by little, or the curtain to open little by little. God is waiting for us to come , to look through and to find Him and His reality. God brings us all understanding, if we want it.

Wisdom 6:1-25.."She hastens to make herself known in anticipation of men's desire; he who watches for her at dawn shall not be disappointed, for he shall find her sitting by his gate"
