Spending Time in the Garden

(Found here)

It officially turned Spring the other day. It doesn’t seem like it quite yet here in Western New York. This quote is a nice reminder of the beauty that is on the way...

“The Bishop’s day was full to the brim with good thoughts, good words, and good actions. Still the day was not complete if cold or wet weather prevented him from spending an hour or two in the garden before going to bed... He was alone with himself, collected. Peaceful, adoring, comparing the serenity of his heart with that of the Other, affected in the darkness by the visible splendor of the constellations, and the invisible splendor of God... Without seeking to comprehend the incomprehensible, he gazed at it. He did not study God: he was dazzled (by God).”

~Victor Hugo (from Les Misérables)
