Poetry of Presence - Walt Whitman

Words of Faith

Whitman's poetry describes nature and the self - but what of God? "I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars, And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg of the wren," Presented by Reverend John Bowker.
