What Do You Hear from the Mountains?
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

Loving Even the Storm
Love all God’s creation, the whole and every grain of sand of it. Love every leaf, every ray of God’s light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.
―Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Tetons – Crammed with God’s Beauty
This is one of my favorite quotes from poetry:
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.-Elizabeth Barrett Browning
