I say to mankind, Be not curious about God. For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God - I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.

Walt Whitman
Image
I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen, And accrue what I hear into myself...and let sound contribute toward me.
