Every blade of grass
sprouting up through the soil
flower blooming in spring
child birthed into being
the air we breathe
that gives us life
the blood pumping
through our veins
even the storms
earthquakes
the raging seas
each an act of creation
willed into being
willed into passing
beautiful and frightening
mysterious to me
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
How does recognizing God’s hand in all creation, both calm and chaotic, deepen our appreciation for life and our understanding of the divine mystery?
