Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God:
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes,
The rest sit round it, and pluck blackberries,

Elizabeth Barrett Browning, from Aurora Leigh, Bk VII

found this quote in a book I was reading today, it just grabbed my attention, the thought that every common bush is afire with God, seems that we spend too much time picking blackberries
