Grappling With Divinity

Look around
at the face of God
the leafy tree limbs
swaying in the breeze
flowers blooming
in the spring
songbirds singing
children laughing
the sunrise
the night sky
a rich man
a begger
a doctor
a leper
the greatest of these
and the least
look around
at the face of God
your reflection
and the places
you most fear to look

~Robert Van Valkenburgh
