Behold this Earth! Earth which is the persuasion of God Have eyes and see, see!
Perceive with the eyes which are your eyes the grey rainshafts which stride across green fields where before great pillars of yellow light painted yellows and browns and
Thunder announcing,
Announcing efforts, purposes
Trees hear them, and the grass and the vegetables
The little lettuces such spots of color upon the raw brown earth
Do hear and so the swift flow of clouds, torn and formed and full of vortex, makes sense
How it speaks to us to tell us goodness prevails
And in my world I know it does not prevail always
In peopleness where the rain cannot just fall nor grass green merely.
How we long for the clarity of innocence!
But we must take up our hoe
And know instead.
