Earth's crammed with heaven

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
April 1996 (Vol. IX, No. 4)

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God,
But only they who see
take off their shoes.

Quote of the Day

To be a world server is to be a lover. It means that you love the truth behind appearances. The full force of evolution is behind every act of love and infuses us as we live our deepest intentions. Love is the point of power within each of us where our God-self and our human-self fuse. There all polarizations vanish. Matter is perceived as Spirit revealed, the created is seen as the extension of the Creator. And change is understood to be the alchemical process through which God takes our divided self and makes of it a sacred whole.
