“I used to envy the father of our race, dwelling as he did in contact with the new-made fields and plants of Eden; but I do so no more, because I have discovered that I also live in "creation's dawn." The morning stars still sing together, and the world, not yet half made, becomes more beautiful every day.” WorldMadeStillsTogetherBeautifulUsedFatherStarsNatureRaceHalfBeautyMorningCreationFieldsPlantEnvyContactDawnDwellingEden Book:Gentle wilderness: the Sierra Nevada Source: Gentle wilderness: the Sierra Nevada
“Every object in nature is impressed with God's footsteps, and every day repeats the wonders of creation. There is not an object, be it pebble or pearl, weed or rose, the flower-spangled sward beneath, or the star-spangled sky above, not a worm or an angel, a drop of water or a boundless ocean, in which intelligence may not discern, and piety adore, the providence of Him who took our nature that He might save our souls.” MaySoulMightStarsWaterNatureWonderSkyCreationObjectsFlowerOceanAngelRoseRepeatsWeedProvidenceImpressedAdorePearlsWormsPietyBoundlessFootstepsPebblesDrop Of Water Author:Thomas Guthrie

“How do I pray? I study a rose, I count the stars, I marvel at the beauty of creation and how perfectly ordered it is, at man, the most beautiful work of the Creator, his brain thirsting for knowledge, his heart for love, and his senses, all his senses alert or gratified.” MenHeartBeautifulStarsBrainStudyCreationPrayingRoseCreatorSensesI Pray Book:Samarkand Source: Samarkand
“Creation is all things and us. It is us in relationship with all things. All things, the ones we see and the ones we do not; the whirling galaxies and the wild suns, the black holes and the microorganisms, the trees and the stars, the fish and the whales - the molten lava and the towering snow-capped mountains, the children we give birth to and their children, and theirs, and theirs, and theirs.” GivingChildrenStarsBlackSunTreeCreationBirthMountainAll ThingsFishesHolesSnowGalaxyWhalesBlack HoleLavaMicroorganisms Author:Matthew Fox

“We should, can and most of the time do communicate with God directly. To my knowledge, angels are not necessary for anything. But God's creation is abundant, and asking "Why angels?" would be like asking why there are thousands of varieties of trees or stars, when we could get along with so much less. God Himself told us many times that He was sending angels to love and care for us, so He is the one who brought them into our lives. Therefore, even if we don't understand their entire purpose, I vote that we pay attention to them.” IfsShouldWould BeCarePurposeStarsPayAttentionOur LivesTreeCreationAngelVoteAskingCommunicateVarietyPay AttentionGod's CreationLove And CareAsking Why Author:Joan Anderson
“God is discovered entirely through creation - the brilliance of a sunset, the powerful roar of a waterfall, the symphony of sounds you hear in the heart of the forest, or the vastness of space and its countless stars.
