More F. W. Boreham
Story★★★★“I’m fond of little things. I like little flowers. I like little hills. I can’t love anything that isn’t a pocket edition ....
Walt Whitman wrote: I believe a leaf of grass is no less than a journey-work of the stars, And the pismire is equally perfect, and the grain of sand, and the egg of a wren, And the tree-toad is a chef-d’oeuvre for the highest, And the running blackberry would adorn the parlours of Heaven, And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery, And the cow, crunching with depressed head, surpasses any statue, and a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels.
“Therein lies the wonder of all really wonderful things. An acorn is a wonderful thing; it is a pocket edition of a forest. Time is a wonderful thing; it is the tabloid of eternity. The Bible is a wonderful thing; it is a pocket edition of the thought of God”-F.
W. Boreham, in The Crystal Pointers
The point
The smallest things—leaves, acorns, mice, the Bible itself—are complete wonders; the Bible is a pocket edition of God's infinite thought.
