6: Ep. 6 - The Transfiguration

A golden light pours through a café window. A mountain blazes with hidden glory. In this episode of Opening the Circle, we reflect on the Transfiguration as a story of transformed vision—an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and glimpse the sacred radiance shimmering beneath everyday life. What if the miraculous has been here all along, just waiting to be seen? **Sources** Matthew 17:1-9 in The Bible  Quote from “Letting in the Golden Light” from “The Marginalian” by Maria Popova https://www.themarginalian.org/2025/02/09/oliver-sacks-love-letters/ Quote from *The Irrational Season* by Madeline L’Engle Quote from *The Star Thrower* by Loren Einsley, as quoted in “The Marginalian” by Maria Popova https://www.themarginalian.org/2024/02/03/loren-eiseley-birds/ Quote from Mary Oliver’s essay "Teach the Children" from the collection *Upstream* Quote from Sister Joan Chittister https://www.joanchittister.org/ The poem “Miracles” by Walt Whitman Quote from “The Sense of Wonder” by Rachel Carson  Scripture commentary from The Salt Project https://www.saltproject.org/progressive-christian-blog/2020/2/18/transfiguration-salts-lectionary-commentary-for-transfiguration-sunday Reflection by Rev.
