A small sign that reads O, see a world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower stands amidst leafy plants on the ground.

These are the first four lines of William Blake’s “Auguries of Innocence” (1803). I encountered them at the Desert Botanical Gardens on solo mini-spur stroll while visiting with Jessica and Brooklyn. I take it as an exhortation to view God not only in the supernatural, but also in the natural.
