That’s Quotable (The Live You’ve Always Wanted)

Posted on September 27th, 2007 in That's Quotable by Fred McKinnon

I’m reading “The Life You’ve Always Wanted” – Spiritual Disciplines for Ordinary People by John Ortberg.

So, this is a quote of a quote:

“Earth’s crammed with Heaven,
And every common bush afire with God,
But only he who sees an takes off his shoes -
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries”.

(Elizabeth Barret Browning)

Powerful, isn’t it?
Fred

    GREAT book by Ortberg. If you get a chance, the DVD series is really good. “We shall Morph….Morph indeed!”

    I loved his [i]“If You Want To Walk On Water You Have To Get Out Of The Boat”[/i]….I’ll have to get a couple of copies of this one for the library… ;}

    I read that same quote the other night in Rick Joyner’s There were Two Trees in the Garden. It made a great impression on me, too. Don’t need no berry pickers!
