Beauty of the World..
Pause for a moment and contemplate the beauty of the world: The glorious colours of the sunrise and the sunset, the Autumn colours, the sweep of the mountains and the hills, the sound of waves upon the shore, the song of the birds, the laughter of little children, the marvel of the creation of all living things each contributing to the wholeness of existence in the world in which we live.
– Noel Miller
..crammed and afire..
Earth is crammed with Heaven and every bush is afire with God.
– Elizabeth Browning (English poet, 1806-1861)
Daffodils..
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
William Wordsworth (English poet, (1770-1850)
Beauty…
But look, the morn, in russet mantle clad
Wakes on the dew of yon high eastward hill.
Shakespeare (English, 1564-1616)
Moonlight…
How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank. Here we sit and let the sounds of music creep in our ears.
-Shakespeare (1564-1616)
Where is it written?
God writes the Gospel
Not in the Bible alone,
But also on trees, and in
Flowers and clouds
And stars.
– Martin Luther
