Enjoy a short poem of gratitude from Gerard Manley Hopkins for the “pied beauty” of the world — those lovely flashes of two or more colors with which God paints so many things. May we all find some time to revel in the “original, spare and strange” anywhere we may find them.
Sometimes it takes something as bright and sudden and startling as a poem to make us stop in our tracks in renewed wonder at the living God and his marvelous creation.
