I'm going through a stack of old magazines and found the following from the May 2004 issue of First Things. It is cold here in Maryland today, and I found it pleasant to think of nicer days ahead.
Without a Bell
God comes to us without a bell:
God’s spell
is cast by larks and honeybees
in trees.
Their chorus, praising field and brook,
spells out His book—
one pious men may overlook,
expecting bells to say, He’s here!
But nature makes the gospels clear:
God’s spell in trees spells out His book.
Ralph C. LaRosa
