A poem for Sunday.

Some of you are aware that I am reading/praying through Carys Walsh’s, Dappled Beauty, Through Lent with Gerard Manley Hopkins.I have always loved Hopkins and am treasuring every day’s read.

This—”As Kingfishers Catch Fire—is certainly one of my favorites with his famous line: “for Christ plays in ten thousand places,/Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his/To the Father through the features of men’s faces.”

I am constantly intrigued by the unique and unrepeatable beauty of each person. I dwell upon that mystery constantly. Hopkins, in his own unrepeatable way, expresses this mystery the best I have found.
