So this is late, but at least I’m getting it... :)
Since Thanksgiving Break I have felt extremely swamped, like I haven’t had enough time for everything, just as most of you probably do. With that being said, I have still found a chance to read Hopkins.
I think my favorite poem was God’s Grandeur, mainly because I actually understood it. I like the idea where Hopkins writes about all the influence that the generations of men have had on the earth, but then he writes,”...for all this, nature is never spent...”
This makes me think of how God provides for all His creation, just like Matthew 6:26 says, “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” I believe we forget that a lot of times and don’t think about turning to God to provide for us.
P.S. I posted on “Aaaaaaaah!” by Ben.
