One of the most powerful ways to interact with creation is to go outside and pray. When I take enough time for this so that I run out of words and just have to stand there silently, God can sometimes get my attention in a memorable way. He can direct my eyes or ears to something around me, and he can fill that physical thing with meaning. It can become my own personal metaphor, something that can help me grasp a truth and remember it.
