I read this little quatrain in a book today and thought of Pastor Joey's "take off your shoes, it's holy ground" sermon of the other day. Of course I love this verse from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem, Aurora Leigh, because it acknowledges the fact that God is Present everywhere and the "Earth's crammed with Heaven." I keep praying that I will be one of those "who sees"! What a glorious thought!
Here is the verse:
"Earth's crammed with Heaven,
And every common bush afire with God,
But only he who sees takes off his shoes -
The rest sit around it and pluck blackberries."
