Caught in the [Natural] Details

the sunlight makes the fields turn from crops to gold

and while the crops wait together with anticipation...

the trees drag their colored leaves slowly across the sky.

the trees become engulfed in the flames of fall

and the leaves dance in even the slightest breath of wind.


yes, God is in these details. more than that, His love is in these details. what else can explain these little phenomenons i often overlook? exactly -- nothing else can sum it up.

and tonight, that love is all i need because it feels as real as
the sunshine that warmed me as i walked along
the branches brushing my hair as i maneuvered my camera amongst the leaves
the sound of music coming through my headphones
the concrete path under my feet

this beauty brought peace to my mind, dusting off the place it hasn't occupied for some time, and stealing some of my breath.

~"I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes." [-e.e. cummings]~
