Quote by Emily Dickinson

They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.

They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of

Summary

This quote amusingly juxtaposes two contrasting beliefs about God. On one hand, there is the notion that God is omnipresent, existing in all places at all times. However, the quote suggests that humans tend to perceive God as reclusive, distant, or hard to reach. It humorously highlights the irony of our limited perception and understanding of the divine, implying that we often project our own human qualities onto a concept that transcends our comprehension.

Each day as I travel through downtown Tucson, I am amazed at how quickly the most ancient of human behaviors have changed. For as long as there have been Homo sapiens - roughly 200,000 years - people have filled their lives principally with two activities: talking directly with other people, and doing physical things.

Fair flower, that dost so comely grow, Hid in this silent, dull retreat,Untouched thy honied blossoms blow,Unseen thy little branches greet;...No roving foot shall crush thee here,...No busy hand provoke a tear.By Nature's self in white arrayed,She bade thee shun the vulgar eye,And planted here the gaurdian shade,And sent soft waters murmuring by;...Thus quietly thy summer goes,...Thy days declinging to repose.Smit with those charms, that must decay,I grieve to see your future doom;They died--nor were those flowers more gay,The flowers that did in Eden bloom;...Unpitying frosts, and Autumn's power...Shall leave no vestige of this flower.From morning suns and evenign dewsAt first thy little being came:If nothing once, you nothing lose,For when you die you are the same;...The space between, is but an hour,...The frail duration of a flower.
