Confident
"Are any of us so different from this tree -- strong, full, with a life almost unnoticed? And who among us does not grow and prosper when someone shines even the smallest bit of sunlight upon us? What more do I need to know of God and faith?... If I cannot see the face of God in a flower or a shaft of light, why should I expect to see it in ideas and books?" - a Jesuit priest
"Like a grain of fire, God plants His undivided power, buries His thought too vast for worlds, in seed and root and blade and flower..." - Thomas Merton
