When I Consider

"Eye has not seen, or ear has not heard what is prepared for them that love God..." This from St Paul. It is something I think that we could contemplate more---the beauty for which our souls hunger. We are given a foretaste of it in the things of earth: trout lilies, the crocus which come out for a cameo appearance in the last days of winter, black capped chickadees, the pure whistle of the titmouse, the flight of the kingfisher, the fragrances of honeysuckle, the maze of red lace the swamp maples make against the gray sky, the ocean in its incomprehensible bigness and its different personalities of color, the studding of the heavens with stars.
