Nature best teaches how to pray, and how to reverence all the gifts the almighty has given us. she is like a vast outspread handkerchief, embroidered with god's eternal name, on which we may dry alike our tears of sorrow and of joy; she turns weeping into ecstasy, and fills our hearts with speechless, quiet reverence and resignation.

Nature Best Teaches How To Pray, And

Robert Schumann
Nature best teaches how to pray, and how to reverence all the gifts the almighty has given us. she is like a vast outspread handkerchief, embroidered with god's eternal name, on which we may dry alike our tears of sorrow and of joy; she turns weeping into ecstasy, and fills our hearts with speechless, quiet reverence and resignation.

More From Robert Schumann

Urge all of your men to pray, not alone in church, but everywhere. pray when driving. pray when fighting. pray alone. pray with others. pray by night and pray by day. pray for the cessation of immoderate rains, for good weather for battle.pray for the defeat of our wicked enemy whose banner is injustice and whose good is oppression. pray for victory. pray for our army, and pray for peace. we must march together, all out for god.

Joy is hidden in sorrow and sorrow in joy. if we try to avoid sorrow at all costs, we may never taste joy, and if we are suspicious of ecstasy, agony can never reach us either. joy and sorrow are the parents of our spiritual growth.
Spiritual Agony Joy
There is such a thing as everyday, ordinary, vulgar ecstasy; the ecstasy of anger, the ecstasy of speed at the wheel, the ecstasy of ear-splitting noise, ecstasy in the soccer stadium.

She was made up of more, too. she was the books she read in the library. she was the flower in the brown bowl. part of her life was made from the tree growing rankly in the yard. she was the bitter quarrels she had with her brother whom she loved dearly. she was katie's secret, despairing weeping. she was the shame of her father stumbling home drunk. she was all of these things and of something more...it was what god or whatever is his equivalent puts into each soul that is given life - the one different thing such as that which makes no two fingerprints on the face of the earth alike.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. some of you say, "joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "nay, sorrow is the greater." but i say unto you, they are inseparable. together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.
Heart Joy Sorrow
Thou o spirit, that dost prefer before all temples th' upright heart and pure, instruct me, for thou know'st; thou from the first wast present, and with mighty wings outspread dove-like satst brooding on the vast abyss and mad'st it pregnant: what is in me dark illumine, what is low raise and support; that to the heighth of this great argument i may assert eternal providence, and justify the ways of god to men.
