Well written and beautiful meanings. God manifests in many things and especially in Nature. This poem reminds me of what we worship, should be from our hearts. Thanks for sharing this most beautiful poem, Kit.

Kit, thank you for your wonderful validation of this free verse poem. Six stars is humbling for me.
Comment from Cogitator
A worthy effort. This struck a number if chords. Many words were overly ornate in passing the message. To know we are always talking to ourselves is the best way to pray. John

Comment from jake cosmos aller
lovely ode to nature and the world all around us. the beauty and the magnificence of God's creation for all to enjoy. Somehow I think if there is God he/she/it must be horrified at how much of a mess we have made of the earth.

Jake thanks for the review. Yes, accepting that God, he/she/it Is the Creator of all things, including us with the heavy burden of free will that creates mass mind negative behaviors - still all of that?s doesn?t undermine all the positive potential for Mother Earth to heal the damage can be and I be will be corrected one way or another?..
Comment from harmony13
The author's words are engaging, beautiful, interesting, clear and creative.
I pondered on these words and thought about when I at the ocean or in
a meditation garden how close I feel to God. I understand how nature
can be a church! The poem flows and connects well. The artwork compliments these words. Have a great weekend!

In my opinion, magnificently presented in image and stunningly descriptive verse - smoothly fluid in its free verse flow and articulate in its appreciation of the beauty of God's cathedral - a beautifully rendered piece, fully compliant with the contest prompt. Best wishes in the contest with this exquisite gem...

Comment from estory
Nice flow here in the language, nice colorful nature imagery really brightened this up. What I really liked about it was how you used these images of the streams to articulate some sense of the sacrament of Baptism, and how you used water to symbolize the Spirit, much as we find in the Psalms. There is a strong sense of being renewed here , in body and mind and soul, through this mystical connection to God in the nature around us. estory

Wise and aware is the one who recognizes that the whole entire Earth is a cathedral where the possibility, the opportunity to give thanks for our inclusion into the grand scheme of creation exists. Any human who thinks himself to be of little or no worth, that one must take the time to understand and assess the fact that of all of God's creations, and they are far too many to enumerate. We, mankind are considered his crowning achievement. The one thing made in his very own image. We are what he hangs his hat on. This is the creation I am most proud of, This is the creation I allowed my only begotten son to become a part of, to represent. Am I proud of that? Are you not? How could any of us not be?

I've always thought that God's church, catherdral, is in nature. Walking through your poem was a lovely experience, showing us the glory around. What better church could anyone wish for to worship God. Well done, this is a lovely contest entry. Good luck! :)) Sandra xx
