Thomas Merton
“A tree gives glory to God by being a tree. For in being what God means it to be it is obeying [God]. It “consents,” so to speak, to [God's] creative love. It is expressing an idea which is in God and which is not distinct from the essence of God, and therefore a tree imitates God by being a tree”

Frederick Buechner

Frederick Buechner, Beyond Words: Daily Readings in the ABC's of Faith

Geraldine Brooks, People of the Book

Marilynne Robinson

Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

Geraldine Brooks
“For to know a man's library is, in some measure, to know his mind.”
Geraldine Brooks, March
