Birdsong

The world is full of implicit religion, and the inspired saints and poets, who say that the birds ‘praise God’ when they sing, are in no way mistaken.

Because it is in their tiny life itself which sings the ‘great life’ and makes heard, through its countelss variations, the same news which is as old as the world and new as the day: “Life lives and vibrates in me”.

What homage to the source of life is expressed by these small streams of life: the birds which sing!
