A Pause For Beauty
One ought every day at least to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture,
and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.
- Goethe
What did you find in the fields today,
you who have wandered so far away?
It is impossible to meditate on time. . .without an overwhelming emotion at the limitations of human intelligence.
- Alfred North Whitehead
What did you find in the fields today,
you who have wandered so far away?
I found a wind-flower, small and frail,
and a crocus cup like a holy grail;
I found a hill that was clad in gorse,
a new-built nest, and a streamlet’s source;
I saw a star and a moonlit tree;
I listened. . . I think God spoke to me.
- Hilda Rostron, with thanks to Friends of Silence
