The realm of God is within us and among us and around us...All the wonders you seek, and the inspiration you crave, are right where you are, within your own personal experience. Thin places, holy isles, burning bushes, angelic songs, and magi bearing gifts are...
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.If you can't be a highway, just be a trail.If you can't be a sun, be a star.For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.
Earth’s crammed with heaven,And every common bush afire with God;But only he who sees, takes off his shoes,The rest sit round it, and pluck blackberries,And daub their natural faces unawareMore and more, from the first similitude. from “Aurora Leigh”...
