Does God leave clues to his gifts in the silence and spaces, the echoing of dreams. Does the lord pray to natures cathedral in bonsai form, the robin and does this bird contain heavens acoustics to host miracles, does heaven contain earthly acoustics to host human miracles. God and man both use innovation, the desert sphinx is a stethoscope for a deity monitoring his creations ability to cope with the expansion of altruism through a global pandemic. Imperceptible movements of mountains through time delivering a hymn, across frozen waterfalls, rivers winter repeats the last movements of the mouth of the man on a cross. Through the seasons the creator whispers warnings about words being replaced by fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
