As a 17 year old, I had no idea if I 'believed in' God or not, who or what the divine was, to me. All I knew is that when I read these words, something vast opened up and came to life, deep within me, and stayed with me for my entirety. 

                 "i thank You God for most this amazing
                 day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
                 and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
                which is natural which is infinite which is yes"
