Excerpt from Within the Soul: Helps in the Spiritual Life
Whoso lives "by admiration, hope, and love," must necessarily be deeply impressed by the unity and the variety of Nature in her works, and by the prodigality with which she pours out her treasures in the forest and the field, in the air and the waters - a prodigality which is characterized by simplicity. Thousands of oaks spring from the teeming earth, yet no two oaks are exactly alike. Daisy differs from daisy, rose from rose, sparrow from sparrow, man from man. Nature does not repeat herself. Each of her gifts is a separate gift, and single, not a mere reproduction in every particular of what she has already bestowed. Where shall we find two human faces that are exactly the same? And as it is with mens outward appearance, so is it with their character, their spiritual being.
