Saturday Thought: Poetry

As I look out upon a beautiful sunny
spring morning this Saturday from my
home office window, I think "how poetic
it all seems." I see the rich green grass,
the fresh shimmering leaves, the frisky
clematis that continue to grow taller and
taller in Mary's garden. I see it for what
it is, and also see it in "different sort
of way." But what is it?

This quote helps to explain that different
way of seeing things:

"Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty
of the world, and makes familiar objects be
as if they were not familiar."

--Percy Bysshe Shelley
