Earth's crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God; But only he who sees takes off his shoes; The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries." -- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
There is a Celtic saying that heaven and earth are only three feet apart, but in the thin places that distance is even smaller. A thin place is where the veil that separates heaven and earth is lifted and one is able to receive a glimpse of the glory of God. -- Sylvia Maddox
