He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast;
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small:
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.
—Coleridge
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the Fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee…that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this (Job 12:7-9).
How do we love, and to whom do we turn to learn? Do we love well, and do we listen to all things great and small?
Stop for a moment, listen to the earth, the fowl and the infinite creation of God. Then walk hand in hand with the creator, your Father and wonder in what his hand has wrought. Then fly to Eden.
In flight,
Z gardener
