Divine Seeing Makes All Things Glow

 

                                                To sit and look at light-filled leaves
                                                May let us see, or seem to see,
                                                Far backward as through clearer eyes
                                                To what unsighted hope believes: . . .

                                                Time when the Maker's radiant sight
                                                Made radiant every thing He saw,
                                                And every thing He saw was filled
                                                With perfect joy and life and light

                                                (Wendell Berry).
