Thank you! Have his poems. See by your web site that the internet has more! Funny. I find that somewhat irritating. I know where you come from and I appreciate it. I do not share your belief in any particulars of God. My sentiments are my own, and they are based on my communion with life in its forms. I do not imagine any defined epitome for these feelings of commonality. If there is a God, I cannot prevent His Way; If there is not...all of us can oppose ignorance and inhumanity.

Why does creation have to be dumb and blind without some divine force? It is so human to wish to animate, with some sort of human type intelligence, that we can grasp, systems that are, or seem to me, infinitely complex. Why can't a baby lamb bounding with joy just be a baby lamb bounding with joy? Why make it any more than it is, or any less? Why not just enjoy without layering onto it unnecessary interpretation, anthropomorphic desires, deistic desires etc etc etc Why not just enjoy? There is no "just" creation, there is no "just" anything- unless you think that way. It seems an odd way to think.
