Spiritual Quote of the Day (Denise Levertov, on How ‘God's in the Wilderness’)

“No, God's in the wilderness next door

— that huge tundra room, no walls and a sky roof —

busy at the loom. Among the berry bushes,

rain or shine, that loud clacking and whirring.

irregular but continuous;

God is absorbed in work, and hears

the spacious hum of bees, not the din,

and hears far-off

our screams. Perhaps

listens for prayers in that wild solitude.”—British-born American poet, feminist, political activist—and Catholic convert--Denise Levertov (1923-1997), “The Task,” in The Collected Poems of Denise Levertov, edited by Paul A. Lacey and Anne Dewey (2013)
