God is like a puppeteer,
That He should fashion invisible strings
To move about the dancing stars in the expanse of the midnight sky;
To bathe the Earth with light and wild colours from a new Sun;
To clothe the lofty mountains in snow;
To raise and lower the ocean tides through the pull of the Moon;
To cause foundations to tremble before His earthquakes;
To split the dark horizon with His lightning;
To give the breeze the voice of a gentle whisper;
To embrace the valleys with sweet-smelling grass and fragrant lilies;
To provide song and flight to many birds;
To shake the boughs of a mighty tree and let fall richly delicious fruit…
So that all these things might call our attention,
Gather us all to sit down before them, watch, and fall silent.
And see
And listen
And feel
And smell
And taste
The wonders of the glorious show of His love.
