“The multiplicity of forms! The hummingbird, the fox, the
raven, the sparrow hawk, the otter, the dragonfly, the water lily! And on and
on. It must be a great disappointment to God if we are not dazzled at least ten
times a day.”
―
Mary Oliver

rushing hurrying
eyes down
not seeing
not feeling
hit and run drivers
careening down the sidewalk
and yet
even in this place
God dazzles
the beauty of a frozen puddle
the stark outline of a tree etched against the sky
a statue of Gandhi
the smile of a new friend
laughter echoing through a room
God is sneaky like that
