“It is alive. It is you,
God. Looking out I can see
no death.”

R.S. Thomas (1913–2000) Welsh poet

"Alive", p. 51
Laboratories of the Spirit (1975)
Context: It is alive. It is you,
God. Looking out I can see
no death. The earth moves, the
sea moves, the wind goes
on its exuberant
journeys. Many creatures
reflect you, the flowers
your color, the tides the precision
of your calculations. There
is nothing too ample
for you to overflow, nothing
so small that your workmanship
is not revealed.

“In a culture that insists on making God small, we can counteract the trend by focusing our imaginations on what is big.”
