The only god I’ve ever known,
Lives on the water and in the woods,
Not in the walls of some cathedral hall.
God, the universe, one,
Whatever, you want to call it,
Created a sanctuary named nature,
And the best way to worship,
Has been and always will be,
Going for a long walk.
Alone,
Or perhaps with someone,
You love very much,
Through the forest,
In the field,
Or alongside the water.
- “If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love you very much.” - Mary Oliver
