Finding Beauty

But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.

                                                   Vincent Van Gogh

Mary Oliver, The Sun

Have you ever seen

anything

in your life

more wonderful

than the way the sun,

every evening,

relaxed and easy,

floats toward the horizon

and into the clouds or the hills,

or the rumpled sea, 

and is gone_____

and how it slides again

out of the blackness,

every morning,

on the other side of the world,

like a red flower

streaming upward on its heavenly toils,

say, on a morning in early summer.....

such wild love

do you think there is anywhere, in any language

a word billowing enough

for the pleasure

that fills you, 

as the sun

reaches out,

as it warms you......

Finding love through the eloquence of a poet's words and nature photography.

May this give a moment's pause to your day.
