Forevermore

What are men celebrating? They are all on a committee of arrangements, and hourly expect a speech from somebody. God is only the president of the day, and Webster is his orator. - Thoreau

tucked deftly away in a bastion of faith and eternity

i listen but do not hear

i look but do not see

not needing choirs, stained glass or candles to know

you always have and always will be

with me

forever and wherever i go

Author's Note

"It is not when I am going to meet him, but when I am just turning away and leaving him alone, that I discover what God is. I say, God. I am not sure that that is the name. You will know what I mean." - Thoreau
