Disbelief
How Do I Believe?
The world disbelieves; how do I then believe?
The stars flung across last night's sky.
❖
The meandering creek at the edge of my meadow.
The wind blowing up from the valley.
Is this glory arranged for just one viewer, Lord? Did you place it all to remind me?
To believe.
– from the mountain
Consider:
How can I approach more wholehearted belief?

It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
