And Moses said, "I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up." Everything turned on Moses' begin willing to "turn aside" -- to interrupt his daily routine to pay attention to the presence of God. (from The Life You've Always Wanted by John Ortberg)
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
