"And this is our life,exempt from public haunt,
finds tongues in trees,
books in the running brooks,
sermons in stones,
and good in everything."
-William Shakespeare, As You Like It
Sermons in stones, and good in everything! This Shakespeare quote reminds me of the 13 Article of Faith....which I was so proud to commit to memory in Primary (hundreds of years ago)! My favorite part of the verse was always the last line.
Whenever we get outdoors we see God's imprint in the beauty of nature. God's handiwork is also found in great art and classic literature.
The 13th Article of Faith: "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul - We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, we seek after these things."
